Bigfoot in Louisiana

Source

I used to have my own big truck. I delivered a load to New Orleans about noon one day. I had driven all night to get there from Atlanta.

I got reloaded for the trip home and found a truck stop in Slidell, Louisiana. I slept for about 8 hrs got a shower and good meal. I was going to run Highway 59 North to Birmingham.

I was maybe 30-45 minutes out of Slidell, it was 2:30 am. I was well-rested and ready for the 8 hr run home. I was running fast as there was no traffic, none, no cars no exits nothing.

I saw someone standing on the side of the road just out of the woods. I started to slow down, as my first thought was hitch-hiker. I had my bright lights and fog lights on, he was lit up real well. I was still 1/2 mile out.

I thought to myself, "damn, he is big".

Then I thought he is really hairy.

I put the brakes on hard as he took about 2 steps towards the road. I never stopped completely but came to a crawl. He was about 6-7 feet tall, all hair, no neck, massive shoulders. The hair on his head blended with the hair on his body. It was either some idiot in a suit or a creature I have never seen before.

It would take a complete crap for brains to dress up and stand on the side of the road. In that part of the country, Bubba will shoot first and identify later. Everybody has a pick up with long guns in the rear window. All I carried when I drove was Colt Mustang Pocket Lite in .380. Had I been stupid enough to stop I was seriously under armed. This thing was huge.

I was wide awake, alert. When I realized what I was looking at I pushed the throttle so far I was in danger of losing toes in the engine fan.

The rest of the drive home home I kept replaying it in my head. I told my wife about a month later. She believed me. I do not make shit up.
