Play Time...This took place during a family outing at the home and property that are the focus of Project 2.

Let's give a little background on the issue at hand. I'll admit, I was a skeptic. Yes, I heard the stories and blew them off. What?!?!?!?! Bigfoot? Yea you're out of your mind! Well, I took it upon myself one evening to go walking a few trails on my mom's property. The kids were playing and splashing in the pool in the distance. We had the normal kids over (too many). My mom was watching them play. And it was almost dark, about time for everyone to go inside and start calming down for the evening. Well, I was just messing around, if anything just needed the exercise. Huh, I wonder what will happen if I just start talking as if I'm talking to one of my nieces or nephews. In a nice, quite, and calming voice I said hello and some odds and ends. And I was squatted down looking in some bushes as I was talking. I could barely see light shining through the trees, as I mentioned earlier it was almost dark but not yet. So I'm squatted there talking and listening. And all of a sudden the hair on the back of my neck stood straight up. SUDDENLY! I knew with everything inside of me that I wasn't alone. And I heard, I would say twigs, but they were bigger. Growing up in the country, hunting, and fishing you can differentiate between noises big and small. Well the branches snapping, getting closer with every snap. I could almost see but not quite, a figure moving toward me. And whatever it was, was large, very large. I took a quick picture and took off like a rocket up to the rest of the family. My heart was racing and I was screaming at the top of my lungs. My mom says all she heard was "MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!" as I ran up the hill like a bolt of lightening. After I calmed down I explained that there was a, "MMMMMOOOOO!!!!" in front of the "M." I'm not trying to sell my story by any means, just simply share the experience. I don't want to try to persuade anyone one way or the other. But that experience was enough to get my curiosity yearning for more.
