I was born and raised in the woods on a reservation in North Carolina. Cherokee. For some reason, although I believe it was a dream, I 'saw' such a
thing early in the morning when I went to slop the hogs.
I remember it as a dream but have always been compelled to believe this exists. I was a sensitive child and just remember feeling as if he felt shame
that he let a child see him. Like he knew it wasnt cool, would be scary.
I wasnt scared though because he submissively and as I mentioned, almost shamefully moved away from me into the woods. I only saw him/her from behind
and it never looked back.
Maybe I wasnt scared because it was a dream. No TV's were on the rez so I dont and didnt have the imagination to make him up, which is the only
reason I feel I wasnt sleeping.
I wasnt scared, slopped the hogs and thinking back... never felt the urge to even mention this to my granny and paw paw (raised me). Perhaps out of
fear of getting different chores I chose not to mention it. Slopping the hogs and gathering the eggs was MY job! I wouldnt have compromised that. That
job was 'glamorous'.
Kids! Who knows. If you wonder if some of us believe they exist... I do. But not because Im convinced I saw one. Just always felt a connection there
since.
Once off the reservation and around the media, I exclaimed, 'Hey... thats what I saw one morning'! while watching TV. Then learned of ' Big
Foot'.
He seemed sad, withdrawn, unhappy, like a man would if in hiding because of some hideous malformation. Thats what I was left feeling. I feel sorry for
'them' if they do exist.
And if they do, have to give them credit for being smart enough not to get caught... who the hell would chose this society if we could avoid it.
