Young boy has encounter with young bigfoot on front porch at grandparents' house
Account
The witness was playing with toys on the floor inside a relative's home with the front door open and a screen door closed. A small reddish-brown furry biped stood on the porch beyond the screen watching, and the witness approached very close for about half a minute before leaving to fetch an adult relative. When they returned the creature was gone, and a toy left outside the next day was never seen again.
