A fascinating account of a possible Bigfoot encounter has been shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Society. The witness, Steve, describes his experience in Missouri back in 1972 when he was just six years old. At the time, Steve had never heard of Bigfoot, but his encounter with this mysterious creature would leave a lasting impression on him. Steve and his friend were playing in a field near a subdivision when they stumbled upon a woven nest made of willow sticks. Steve recalls thinking that if his friend's brother had made it, he must be crazy, as it was clearly the work of an animal. The next time they were in the field, they heard a tree being ripped in half, followed by a black flash in the woods across the street. Steve then saw a 9-foot-tall, dark, man-shaped figure step over a barbed wire fence and walk towards them. The creature appeared to be aggravated and swung its arms as it approached. Steve and his friend were frozen in fear, but when the creature was about 40 feet away, they ran. They didn't tell anyone about the encounter until many years later, when they saw the Patterson-Gimlin film and realized that what they had seen was a Bigfoot. Steve's account is particularly interesting because he describes the creature as being more advanced and having body language, unlike anything he had ever seen before. He also links his sighting to a nest he had seen in the same area a few years earlier. This encounter is a great reminder of how mysterious and elusive Bigfoot can be. While some people may be skeptical, Steve's account is a compelling one, and it's always exciting to hear about new sightings and encounters.
