"The next thing my dad knew he was halfway back to their car with Ricky yelling at him for leaving him back there with those things. They got back in the car and left. They never went back."
The following account was forwarded to me:
"This encounter was not mine, but my dad's. I've heard him tell it tons of times over the years, but I still remember the first time he told me about it when I was younger. This happened in Kansas City, Missouri north of the river in the late 70s. The area has since been turned into multiple subdivisions and is no longer wooded in any way.
My dad and his friend Ricky were out with a few friends partying in the woods at this rock overhang they knew of. They had a fire and were admittedly drinking and other things that first night. Early in the night, they heard something walking on the overhang above them. They knew it wasn't a cow or deer since it was heavy and not making the type of noise that hooves would make on the rock and it sounded like it had 2 feet. Dad and Ricky took their flashlights and went to see what it was. As soon as they shined the lights up above they heard whatever it was take off. They tried to follow it but whatever it was seemed to be just fast enough that they couldn't keep up with it long enough to get a look. Eventually, they couldn't hear it anymore and went back to the fire and their friends, no big deal. Later that night the police arrived and made them leave. They had them dump out their booze and escorted them out. At this point, they didn't think anything about that noise from earlier and thought maybe it was the landowner or something.
The next night my dad and Ricky decided to go back to the overhang and get fewer legal things they hid there when they heard the police coming. At this point, they were both completely sober and started walking through the field that led to the wooded area. When they got about 10 feet away they heard something large moving towards the treeline and then it screamed at them. My dad said he had never heard anything like it. It sounded like a person screaming mixed with a dog in excruciating pain all at once and went on for a very long time. They were both frozen next to each other terrified and unable to move, until they heard another scream right after the first ended but this was from about 50 feet to their left. The next thing my dad knew he was halfway back to their car with Ricky yelling at him for leaving him back there with those things. They got back in the car and left. They never went back out into those woods.
Growing up this was a cool story and made me interested in cryptids and the like. I eventually heard some screams and howls on some sort of investigative show and that was when it really clicked in my mind that my dad really did have an encounter with Bigfoot. Anyway, that was my introduction to the subject, and wanted to share it." K
