Account
The witness, age nine or ten, woke at night while staying at her aunt and uncle's trailer and opened the window. A Bigfoot was staring in eye-to-eye from within a foot, breathing audibly. After she alerted the other girl, the creature walked then ran bipedally to the cornfield while four people in the home watched, and her uncle fired to scare it off.
