Teens returning from baseball game were chased by bigfoot.
Account
Two boys walking home late at night were followed by a large dark figure that kept pace with them without running. They fled to a neighboring house, where the resident let them in and all three watched the figure stand in the front yard about 12 feet from the porch before it crossed the road and descended an embankment toward the river plain. At dawn a neighbor was called and later found large footprints that were traced downriver until they entered the water.
