Kitakaze, hello. I have been fighting with myself for several days about taking part in this discussion. Two reasons...one, anyone who claims to see this...thing...is thought of as nuts, and two, what my husband and I saw doesn't match the descriptions of most other sightings. I'm not a bigfoot researcher. But we did see something. The frustrating part, for me, is that I really don't have a lot to say about it, so I'm going to follow your questions that you asked of someone else to get started.
1) Where did your sighting occur? What province or state and county?
Arkansas, Lee County (possibly St. Francis just before hitting Lee...the area was unfamiliar to us...but it was before we'd come into Marianna).
2) What time of night was it? What year was it? About what date was it?
2006, December, 22nd or 23rd? Just a few days before Christmas, about 7ish pm (close to 7:30)
3) Where were you coming from?
My husband and I were travelling to my sisters new home in Arkansas from our home in Kentucky. We came across the Mississippi on 40 and then turned onto 79 (? I'm pretty sure that's the road) headed toward Marianna. My husband and I weren't married then, but my sister had been in the hospital and was being released that evening and so he accompanied me for a quick trip to help her with some Christmas things.
4) Please describe in detail the creature you say you saw.
What both of us saw at the same time was...something, on two legs, running toward us in the opposite lane. Our headlights were on...it wasn't late, but it was dark due to the time of year. It was covered in longish (but not excessively long) hair, and when it passed us in the opposite lane, it appeared to be only a bit taller than the cab of our truck (stock F150, '97 model). I would guesstimate about 7', maybe a few inches taller. It was hard to judge its height, because it was running with a kind of forward slant and didn't appear to have a neck. Neither of us saw a pointed head, either...just a plain old head covered in hair (I'm sure it *had* a neck, but it wasn't visible to us). It had arms longer than a human that swung down at its sides as it ran, not bent at the elbow like a person would run. We did not see any definite facial features, but...it simply wasn't "massive" as most reports would indicate. We have a few friends that are close to 7' in height, and aside from all the hair, this thing didn't appear to be proportioned much differently than a person. The only thing that appeared much different was the lack of a neck, which kind of gave it a squater appearance. It just wasn't "massive" though. We couldn't even determine the color really, it happened so quickly. It just looked a dirty brownish grayish color.
5) You described yourself as a Bigfoot researcher. Do you belong to any Bigfoot enthusiast organization? if so, which one?
Not a bigfoot researcher. I did join another website about a year later but made only a few posts before I realized that what other people were seeing and describing didn't at all seem like the thing we saw. There wasn't anything spiritual or paranormal or anything like that about it. Didn't feel any psychic connection or real kinship, the only emotion on my part was immediate fear and on husband's part was a desire to turn around and see if we could get a better look (which I refused to do...it scared me).
6) In what province or state and county do you normally do you search for Bigfoot?
We don't, and I don't think I want to, though my husband from time to time mentions that he'd like to see "it" again. Not me.
Honestly? It was just shocking. It seemed to not even notice us, our vehicle, our lights...didn't turn its head, nothing. It just kept running, like most other animals would probably do (except deer, which seem to like to stop in the middle of the road).
I do not know, nor does my husband, and we've discussed this a few times, what it was. If it was a "bigfoot", it looked nothing like the illustrations I have seen. Someone might be tempted to say it was a "juvenile" bigfoot, but...honestly, I don't know how anyone could determine that, and even if it was...it did not appear that it would have grown into anything almost as wide as it was tall.
That's a rather dull sighting. I don't know what it was. My husband doesn't know what it was. He was angry with me for not wanting to try to get another look at it though, until he realized that I really was scared. I don't have any other information to give.
The area was rural (maybe someone from Arkansas knows the road I'm talking about...it was the only time I've been on it and we were both sure we were lost because there simply wasn't any traffic...we came home a different way, down through West Helena, I think it was, past Lexa, where she now lives). There were fields, some what appeared to be abandoned houses, the trees were actually pretty far back from the road. I'm not sure if the fields were cotton or bean, but I remember seeing one of those small signs indicating they may have been corporate farms? I'm not sure about that, but when I say farms, I don't mean with barns and houses and all that, I mean mainly just fields with a dirt access road and gate.
I also admit that I do not know what types of wildlife are normally found in that area. I don't know if "bigfoot" is real or not, but that thing was, whatever it was.
I was kind of thinking in text, mainly. I realize that many sightings seem to be along roadways, for example. It's just that I tend to think that if bigfoot does exist, even with those sightings on roadways, it's more reasonable to assume they as a general rule wouldn't use the routes we would--or surely we'd have proof by now OF bigfoots existing. What I mean is, absence of "road kill" doesn't necessarily mean absence of bigfoot, although granted, "road kill" would certainly be something people determined to prove bigfoot's existence should look forward to.
