Bigfoot Encounter
by Campbells

My friends Jack and Harry were hiking in California. One night they camped on the mountainside. Sometime near midnight, Jack woke up absolutely terrified. He woke up Harry to find the time - it was midnight. Jack did not know why he felt so scared. He finally reached the point where he could not stand the terror and panic.

Jack decided to go outside the tent. He crawled outside and stood up. Not 20 feet in front of him was a 7- 8-foot figure. It stood there looking at him, leaning forward a bit, looking like a bear. Jack has seen bears; he's had bears get right in his face and "woof" at him - he knew this was no bear. He was completely paralyzed with fear. The thing just stood there, its human-like face staring. The eyes were deep sockets, and the head was small compared to the rest of the body. The ears stood out, like human ears. Even in the dark, anyone could tell this was not your common beast.

Harry called from the tent, "Jackie! What do you see? What's out there?" Jackie called back, "I don't know! I don't know!" Harry called back again, "Oh, well I'm gonna stay in here!" Jack knew he couldn't stay here all night. He forced himself to move. He went back into the tent and got the flashlight. Crawling back out, he turned his back to the thing, he whirled around to face it. The thing was gone. In the morning, they went outside and found that something had been through their camp. The tent was completely in tact, not a stake out of place. The firepit was demolished, everything lay scattered. Jack nearly denies what he saw. Was it Bigfoot? A logger? A bear? He doesn't know. I believe it was Bigfoot.
