Alabama 1975
​
I grew up in North Alabama. We had a farm and grew all our vegetables, raised our own beef and pork, and had about 25 acres of land. This was around 1975 or so, I was around 13 or 14. Part of our land was wooded. We saw plenty of deer, coyotes, bobcats, and the like. It was a peaceful time. You didn't hear about missing kids or violence like you do today. Things were simple.
   I will say though, it was a time where people were talking about UFO'S, some were called liars or fakes, or just outright stupid if you talked of such things. If you saw them, you kept your mouth shut usually. I'm saying this to make a point about my sighting.
    It was a nice summer day.nothing unusual going on. It was mid-day and my Mom, Sister, and I we're home. We were watching TV and just hanging around the house. Our dog was on the front porch and started to bark. He didn't normally bark unless someone stopped by to visit. I got up off the couch and walked out onto the porch and looked toward the driveway. No one had pulled up, and it was then I realized the dog was behind me barking toward the smaller garden. As I looked up to the direction he was barking....I came eye to eye with a huge white or off white Bigfoot. We looked into each other's eyes for several seconds. I felt NO fear what so ever. I felt for some reason that it was a male. He stood about 8 feet tall, give or take, his hair was about 5 or 6 inches long. He did not have the pointed head like some describe. He had very broad shoulders, no neck to speak of, and I could see some grey skin ....just a little on his face. I did not smell a bad smell at all. He was about 60 feet from me. I got a very good look at him as he stood there very calm, I did not hear him make a sound. He slowly turned toward the garden and as he took a step or two he disappeared....I believe they are interested dimensional, or at least some are. I have always thought he went into a portal or something.....or Maybe they have a way to disappear. I don't know. I turned and walked into the house, my Mom had come from the kitchen into the living room thinking we may have company, I remember saying....no one is here, just the dog barking....I never mentioned this to anyone, not even my best friend. I had just let it go. I was a little sad though that that was the only contact I had with him. I wanted to know him better and understand him. 
    Fast forward to a month ago. I live on the same land I grew up on. I had come home from work one night, pulled up in the driveway and got out my phone to check my messages. It was muggy and hot outside and I had cut my car engine off. It didn't take long to start to sweat, I rolled my window down for a moment to see if there was a breeze. Within a minute I had gotten a mosquito bite, so still wanting to sit outside for a minute while I checked my messages, I rolled the window up again. Yep, seconds later I was hot, so I decided to battle mosquitos for just a minute. As I rolled the window down this time I smelled the worst smell of my life. A combination of rotten meat, skunk, and a dead animal. I gagged it was so bad. I rolled the window back up. Looked around ....not seeing anything. I really wanted to see another Bigfoot, even if I had to breath out of my mouth. I got out of my car within 3 minutes and the smell was completely gone. Yes they are still here. Maybe I will have a chance to see one again.
