Hair covered creature seen "crouched down behind" a vehicle, knuckle on pavement

Investigator Tal B. writes: She was driving a large pickup truck with her eleven year old daughter in the front seat and her ten year old son in the back seat. About one mile from Newark, at the point the Macedonia Road intersects Highway 65 from the north, the traffic in her lane was stopped while the second car in front of her was waiting to make a left turn onto Macedonia Road. As she approached, and was slowing to a stop behind the two vehicles, she and her daughter saw a very large, hair covered figure crouched down behind the vehicle in front of her. She stated that it was in a position with one knee and the knuckles of one hand on the pavement, with its body facing the road shoulder on the passenger's side of her truck. (She described its position as, "Like a football lineman waiting for the snap of the ball".) She and her daughter stared in speechless amazement at the figure for several seconds. When the traffic ahead of her began to move, it arose to its full height and at the same time initiated a single leap from the center of her traffic lane past the four feet wide road shoulder and onto the grass beside it. The figure was so close to the front of her truck that its next movement was outside the beams of the truck's headlights and it disappeared from their view in the adjoining woods. She said the figure had long black hair, a "domed shaped head" and was "hunched forward" as it ran. When it moved quickly toward the road shoulder, her daughter immediately locked her door and asked, "Did you see that?" Of course her mother had seen it, but was so stunned by the event, she did not answer. Then her daughter asked what it was that they had seen. The witness stated she had always been a skeptic about Bigfoot stories, but was sure of what she had seen. She did not want to alarm her daughter any more so she evaded giving her a direct answer. When they arrived at home, the young girl excitedly began telling her father about the incident, and the mother tried to intervene. The father asked the girl to describe what she had seen. After she finished, the father told her she had described a Bigfoot. He told he had heard about them from the older members of his family all his life. He told her that most of all the reports came from the White River and Black River bottoms in Independence County and adjoining counties. via (Link: bfro.net)
