Class A First-hand BFRO #6194

Two decades separate sightings of father and son at farm

April 2003 around 5:00 or 6:00 in the evening Bland, Gasconade County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

The son ran back to the house saying a large human-like woods figure had watched him from near the woods edge. The parent went outside and noticed a musky odor, which the son described as skunk-like. The son depicted the figure in a crayon drawing and reacted strongly when shown an image from a reported bigfoot film. No one else saw the figure.
