Smallfoot
I live in the Game Preserve in Pennsylvania. I'v never believed in Bigfoot or anything that could be considered "Mythical" creatures. I just woke up and it was about 6:00am in the morning. I walked into the sitting room of my bedroom and looked out the window just as I do every other morning. Much to my suprise I saw something tall and dark walking from my next door neighbors house along the trees and forest that line the back of my property. It is hard to say, but I would estimate that it was about 6 1/2 feet tall, and could see that it was covered with thick, dense fur and had a strange gait. I watched it for a minute or so and then it vanish into the thick growth of the woods. I ran through all possibilites in my mind. Was it a bear? Was it a neighbor dressed in a costume? I was sure there was a logical answer.
As time went on I was struck by the fact that a neighbor would not be in my back yard in a costume at 6 am in the morning. The treeline has a steep incline that no one in a bulky costume could just step into and navigate without falling over. This may have been the bigfoot that everyone talks about.
I later found out that someone had the same sighting in Kempton, PA, which is only minutes from my home. I don't want to believe that this is what I saw, but I have no other logical answer. I keep thinking about it's gait and the strange manner in which it moved. It also walked completely upright, not cumbersome as a bear would walk on it's hind legs. I understand through research that Pennsylvania is one of the top 5 states for Bigfoot sightings.
Who knows... I'll keep looking out my window and let you know if I see anything else.
