OBSERVED: I PULLED INTO END OF A TURNAROUND AT TRAIL OF BIG TREES. BEGAN SETTING UP TELESCOPE WHEN A VERY CLOSE, VERY LOUD HIGH PITCHED CALL CAME FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD. IMMEDIATELY A MUCH LOUDER, DEEPER, AND MORE TERRIFYING SERIES OF CALLS BACK CAME FROM DEEPER IN THE WOODS TO THE LEFT OF THE ROAD. BOTH CREATURES BEGAN MOVING TOWARDS US ON THE TURNAROUND AT THE SAME TIME, BREAKING THROUGH DEADFALL AND SMASHING BRANCHES, CONSTANTLY CALLING BACK AND FORTH. THERE WAS ALMOST NOT ENOUGH TIME TO ESCAPE WHAT SEEMED TO BE EMINENT DANGER. I SAW HUGE FIGURE IN THE DARK AT THE SIDE OF THE TURNAROUND BEFORE I THREW THE TELESCOPE INTO THE CAR AND SHUT THE DOOR. I WANTED TO DRIVE IN A CIRCLE TO SPOTLIGHT THE CREATURES, BUT MY FRIEND WAS SCREAMING FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THERE. THIS WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I TOLD NO ONE ELSE THIS STORY FOR YEARS, UNTIL RESEARCHING AND FINDING OF ACCOUNTS AROUND THIS SWAMP IN THE 20'S AND 30'S. THE CLOSEST TOWN MIGHT BE AT LEAST 15 MILES. MY BELIEF IS THAT I UNWITTINGLY DROVE IN AND PARKED BETWEEN A MOTHER AND CHILD, AND THERE IS NO CHANCE OF THIS BEING PEOPLE OR ANY OTHER ANIMALS. I NEVER GOT A CLEAR LOOK AT THE BIG ONE, BUT SAW JUST A HUGE FIGURE MOVING AT FAST IN THE DARK.

Activities of Witness: HAD DINNER, WATCHED TV, NOTICED LOTS OF STARS AND DECIDED TO GO USE TELESCOPE FAR FROM CITY LIGHT, DROVE TO TRAIL, PULLED UP IN CAR, SET UP TRIPOD, AFFIXED TELESCOPE TO TOP OF TRIPOD, BEGAN HAVING HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, SPED HOME IN CAR NOT TALKING AT ALL.

Description of Creature: MAYBE EIGHT FEET TALL, WIDE AT THE SHOULDER, LOOKED LIKE A "BIGFOOT" IN THE DARK" - RUNNING IN TERROR MAKES IT HARD TO GET A GOOD LOOK.

Other Notes: I HAD HIKED THIS AREA ALOT AND A FEW TIMES HEARD SOME WOOD KNOCKING AND LOGS AND ROCKS THROWN INTO THE BAYOU RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODED SWAMP, BUT AT THE TIME JUST THOUGHT IT WAS GATORS ROLLING INTO THE WATER OR WOODPECKERS- LOOKING BACK, I NOW FEEL DIFFERENTLY. AFTER MY NIGHTTIME EXPERIENCE, I SPENT NO MORE TIME IN THIS AREA.

Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: OTHER THAN MY SUSPICIONS THAT PREVIOUS HIKING TRIPS TO THIS AREA INCLUDED OBSERVANCES OF WOOD KNOCKING AND ROCK/LOG THROWING, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A COUPLE OF SIGHTINGS IN EARLY 20TH CENTURY NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS OF LARGE APES COMING OUT OF THE SWAMP NEAR THIS AREA.
