Additional Notes and or Follow up Comments:  Followup report conducted by GCBRO researcher Fay Easley. I just spoke by phone to the teenager who actually saw the bigfoot and also spoke with his dad. While speaking to the boy he  seemed honest and still upset by the encounter. The boy said  they had a motion sensor light in their backyard and that was the light he was using to see how to shovel the sand out of the bed of his dad's truck. He had stepped into the house for a minute and when he came back out the light was out so he walked towards the light to get it to come back on. When it did, as he turned around to go back to the truck he saw the bigfoot standing there. He said it was definitely male, had very clean shiny black hair, very muscular(his 1st impression was that it was someone who worked out on a regular basis), and hardly a noticeble(sp) neck. He said that he picked up the shovel to chase it away when it turned and started "loping"  towards the front of the house and towards the ridge. He stated that the creature almost waddles left to right as it got further away. Once it reached the ridge it did several loud bursts of  whistles. He also mentioned that he could hear it breathing hard as it ran. Their outside dog along with the neighbor's dogs barked before, during and after the encounter. The father of the boy said that about 3 years ago one of the neighbors Rottweilers was found tore up and dead on the same ridge. The father stated he would be on the look-out for it to return and no further action by our organization was neccessary at this time but if something came up he would call..
