Bigfoot Sightings

OBSERVED: While going for a walk down a very remote country road late at night, my friend and I heard something crashing through the woods. It seemed to be running quickly, most likely on two feet, through the thick woods that bordered the road, without stumbling over roots, or bumping into trees. There was about 50 feet of farmland between the woods and the road. Whatever it was seemed to be going in the same direction we were and was getting closer. Feeling frightened, we turned around and headed back to his house. After a few minutes, whatever it was also turned around and headed again in our direction, crashing, "boom, boom, boom" through the woods. We hurried up to his house and locked the door to his apartment.

Additional Things: My friend lived in an old farm house that had been converted into 4 apartments, student housing for I.U. students. The other three units were vacant for the summer. When we entered the apartment, his cat was acting very strangely, racing around and yowling. After about ten minutes, we heard footsteps crunching on the gravel drive outside and called the police. We secured all of the windows and doors and waited. After about five minutes, we heard the police car driving up the driveway. At that moment, we heard the vestibule door open and something/someone stepped into the entry foyer for the 4 apartments. Unfortunately, the police officer just made a quick drive around the building and left. We took that opportunity to run out the back door and get into my friend's car, driving away quickly. When my friend returned the next day, there was no evidence of anything having been there.

Activities of Witness: My friend was a percussion student at Indiana University and often used his time at home to practice drumming, which is why he had to live so far outside of the city. Normally he would not have heard many outside noises. Prior to our walk, we had been having dinner in his apartment. The area where this occurred is very rural, with very few houses and a lot of farm fields bisected by heavy woods.

Description of Creature: We never saw anything, but could not imagine what kind of two-legged creature could run through the woods in the dark without missing a step.

Other Notes: My friend said that his cat's behavior was extremely unusual when we returned that night.

Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: None that I am aware of.
