Class A First-hand BFRO #40020

Man has a close daytime encounter with a probable Bigfoot family outside Hardy

January 2008 early morning about 7:30 am HARDY, Fulton County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on a gravel mountain road in the early morning when he saw a small dark animal sitting in the road. A tall brown-haired female came from the woods, picked up the juvenile and carried it back into the trees. After the witness got out of his car a rock struck the car and a much larger dark individual appeared behind the car, vocalized loudly, then crossed the road into the woods. The witness drove a short distance ahead, stopped, heard movement in the woods and had more small rocks thrown toward him before leaving.
