Class A First-hand BFRO #43689

Night fisherman first hears and then observes two Bigfoots in his spotlight near Birmingham

2 October 2013 night in the dark Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama 1 witness

Account

The witness claims he was fishing alone at night when he heard two large animals fighting on a hillside across the water. The sounds lasted about 30 minutes and included growling, hollering, and breaking limbs as the animals moved toward him. When they reached a clearing he lit them with a spotlight, saw two tall lean hairy bipeds, and watched them sprint uphill into the forest. He then left the area and says he will not return alone.
