While checking dogs at aunt's house, man has dusk encounter.

Report#: 03080025
Occurred May 1995: (Submitted January 11, 2000)

Witness Observation

While driving to check on my dogs that were being kept at my aunt’s house in a fenced in area with a ten by ten out building, an adolescent bigfoot ran out of the woods and into my aunt’s yard. It ran between the house and the garage. It was approximately three and a half to four feet tall. I pulled into the drive but was too afraid to get out of the car. I had the feeling that something was watching me from the woods. The dogs were yapping but ok so I left because I was afraid.

Sounds

Nothing heard.

Additional Observations

Have heard that there was some woods that you just don't go in in the surrounding area.

Time and Conditions

8:00 pm - It was just turning dark when you turn the lights on but you dont really need them.

Investigator's Comments

Craig Woolheater

This investigation was conducted as a result of an incident that allegedly occurred on the outskirts of Mountain Home, Arkansas in Baxter County, in May of 1995.

I interviewed the witness in March 2000. He added no additional details to his original report. He was certain that he had seen a juvenile sasquatch bolt through out of the woods and through the yard.

The witness said the subject's height was no more than four feet. It was brown, covered with hair and bipedal. He could provide no other viable explanation for what he saw except perhaps an escaped chimpanzee. However, he said the the fleeting glimpse he got of the face gave him the impression that it appeared more human-like without the protruding jaws of a chimpanzee. Its nose seemed to be flat and wide.

Class 1d: A visual encounter with a sasquatch/bigfoot is a distinct possibility involving two or more reliable observers, and all other sources can be reasonably ruled out.
Class 2: Investigator determines that a visual encounter with a sasquatch/bigfoot is a distinct possibility, the observer is exceptionally trustworthy, professionally trained, and experienced in the outdoors and/or is accustomed to looking for and recording details (e.g., biologist, anthropologist/archaeologist, ranger, trapper/tracker/seasoned hunter, bird watcher, game warden, naturalist, law enforcement), and other explanations can be reasonably excluded.
Class 3a: Investigator determines that a visual encounter with a sasquatch/bigfoot is a distinct possibility, the observer is credible, and all other sources can be reasonably ruled out.
