Yup. Hashtag, #facts Lol. By the way, at least with YouTube (Thanks, Pooh!) you click the link to share button under the video, copy/paste that into
the "insert a YouTube video ID" field here on ATS, and then... select the alphanumerics after the equal sign "=", and cut/paste just that into the
same field. If you know what I mean, that'll do the trick.
Story: After a heckuva day in Saint Augustine, Florida roughly a decade-plus ago, my GPS was glitchy, so I followed the signs to get on I-95 North to
our hotel that evening. Score one for a Full Moon night, I zigged when I should've zagged and found an I-95 sign amongst construction ones across an
otherwise unlit road, and aimed my SUV for it. In a few minutes, the asphalt gave to gravel and dirt through the woods. Yeah, not a by-way to the
highway. My tired brain got us onto an unfinished site and into some section of swampy goodness. Grabby fog and all.
I didn't put it in reverse out of curiosity since, according to my headlights, the path was paved. Narrow as heck, but I'd give it another comfortable
minute, and see if I'd have room for a thirty-point turn, or not. Then we emerged onto a Moonlit clearing. Time got wyrd here. My wife and I turned to
each other to share a sigh of relief, but my eyes tooned out of my brainbox at what I saw past the windshield and passenger side windows.
Time got weird in this moment. Two wookies and a deer? Are those men? Those big guys naked? Cheap monkey suit prank? What's with the face? What are
they doing with their arms? The buck fled. Is this really happening right now? What did she say? Get Honey home. Turn the Car. They pranking hardhats
for bulldozing their area? Am I really gonna bantha poodoo myself that this ain't happening, because it is happening. Are they barefoot? Party City
costumes don't have soles. Where'd they go? Men don't feel vibe weird aura like that. I'm scared and I don't think I've taken a breath. Why did God
make them? Get Honey home.
"What? What did you see?", she asks in her scared voice. She's a paralyzed with fear type, unfortunately.
"I just saw two bigfoot and I am never-ever ever ever going to make fun about anyone seeing bigfoot or anything else ever ever ever again..!" OMG.
Everything is real. Everything is real. Get Honey home. I just saw two bigfoot.
And that's just the bigfoot part of that day. My shoulders were practically in my ears until we got to the hotel. The GPS had crapped out, but I can
tell you bigfoot were living in Twelve Mile Swamp. Also, my short Tweet on the matter was featured on 30 Odd Minutes. It's been awhile since I've
bothered with the Twit, but I posted something like, "Wookies. I mean, ape-like hominids. After I saw two near St Augustine, Florida I can't mock
anyone for any cryptid sightings."
That's basically it. The fact that there is a humanoid factor to them, an ambient fright thing, and something to the arm flailing. Also, being around
people is how I know those two were not guys in monkey suits. Thou shall not bear false witness.
