I saw a bigfoot/Yeti/abominable snowman. When I was around 5 or 6 years old, my siblings and I were playing in the woods near our house. It was in winter, cold and snowy, and we were on a trail we used to run around on. At some point, I looked up and discovered I'd been left alone. It was around 5pm and just starting to get a little dark, so I remember being pretty scared. The trail looped around, so I took off running, knowing it would bring me back home. As I turned a corner in the trail, suddenly there was a large, white bigfoot standing in the trees right in front of me! We looked at each other before I turned and ran with all my might back to the house.
When I got back inside, I told my mom what I had seen. I know I was still very breathless and scared. She told me it was just a dog! My brothers and sister laughed at me. I know I was young, but I also know that it wasn't a dog I saw that day! Looking back on it now, I don't remember getting a feeling like it would have hurt me. Maybe it just wanted to help!
