Witness Account:
My encounter happened on September 15, 2008 around 1:00 AM in the morning, I was driving home from work and it had been raining for several days I remember and on this particular night it had gotten very foggy. I was driving on rural route 15 between Sherril, AR and Tucker, AR. On this route is mostly all farm land and some dense forest land, creeks and rivers. I could only go about 25 miles per hour due to the visibility was very poor, I had just rounded a curve and crossed a small bridge for a creek, when this huge creature walking on the side of the road popped into my view. It scared the crap out of me and I slammed on my brakes as it passed and I put the car in reverse and backed up but did not see it after that. For the few seconds that I saw it I could tell it had black hair because when my lights shined on it I remember the hair was shiny and kind of reflecting the light. But the one thing I remember that still brings chills to me just thinking about was when my headlights shined in its eyes, it was like a red luminescent color from its eyes. I went home and told my girlfriend what I had seen and she just kind of laughed and I told some of my friends and I got about the same reaction, so from then I just kept it to myself. But I am sure that was I saw was a bigfoot. I would have to say judging by the size of my car when I passed it, that it was at least 8 feet tall or taller and was wide. I must say that my drive home has never been the same in the early morning hours.
Additional observations:
I did smell a odor once the incident did happen much like something was dead
