Around the age of 8, my mother and I were over at our friends house. They lived on a fairly large lot (approx. 4 acres) and most of it was woods except for a field (approx 50 yards in length) on the right side of the residence. My friend and I were upstairs in their computer room taking turns playing "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" while our parents were sitting outside on the wrap-around porch. As my friend was embroiled in her turn on the game, I peered out the window overlooking the aforementioned field. At the edge of the clearing I saw something about half as tall as the pine trees (so maybe 10-12 feet tall) walking along the treeline. It was covered head to toe in something dark (i assume it was fur/hair), but it's hands and facial area were a lighter tanish colour and it's head was kinda pointy. I was frozen in place until it moved into the trees, then I bee-lined out to the porch screaming about having just seen bigfoot. Nobody else saw what I saw, so they all thought I was just making it up for attention. I was obsessed with those woods after that. I'm 33 now and I remember this as if it happened yesterday.
