An account in Pulaski County, Arkansas

I've had two possible bigfoot encounters. The first occured in 1975 when I seven. My family lived at Little Rock AFB. At the time there were woods behind our house and a small lake as well. After school one day I was playing in my backyard. I looked up toward the woods and saw something squatting down next to a tree looking at me. It was covered in black hair except on its face and had as I remember a flattened nose and pointed head. I was stunned. I turned and ran into my house where I told my mom that I had just seen a gorilla. I knew that it wasn't a gorilla but that was the only thing I could think of to describe it. My mom thought I was playing around and didn't really believe me. When I looked back there again it was gone.
