Class A First-hand BFRO #1024

An account of bigfoot tool use

October 1953 afternoon Liberty, Casey County, Kentucky 2 witnesses

Account

In childhood, the witness and a companion heard a thumping noise while playing and went to investigate. They saw a large hairy animal squatting nearby using pieces of firewood to dig in the ground. The animal stood up, bared its teeth silently, and walked toward them, causing them to flee into the companion's house. When an adult checked moments later, the animal was gone leaving only disturbed ground.
