Memory told of a close up daylight encounter with two, possibly young, Bigfoots near Abbeville
Account
The witness, then a child, was walking from a cornfield to a nearby house to fetch water for a cousin. At a dirt road she came within about 10 feet of two small, hairy, human-like figures standing together on the opposite side. They looked at each other for about a minute before she ran to the house, and the figures were gone when she walked back.
