Girl sees bigfoot outside home in mountains near Smoot
Account
The witness stepped onto the back porch for fresh air at night and noticed a wet-dog odor, then saw a large brown hairy biped under the yard security light. The creature fled at a fast pace when the witness gasped, swinging its arms as it moved. The next morning the witness and family found large barefoot-like prints with a long stride in the garden.
