Bigfoot and other stuff
Posted 08-04-2008 at 09:59 AM by arguy1973
Back when we only got three channels, channel 3 outta Memphis on the weekend would have a late night creature feature. Now there was no way my momma would ever let me stay up to 2am to watch a movie, especially a scary one, but my friend JTs moms would. Well I say would, we would sneak up and watch it, she couldnt scare a mouse, much less us. Anyway, late one night we snuck up to see Bigfoot: "The Legend of Boggy Creek" A Movie Review and got to see most of it, until we saw his mom coming with flyswat in hand, her favorite weapon of choice, ready to shoo us off to bed. Not to long after that there was some late night show on about aliens, and all that did was give us some more ideas.
Well ive mentioned before that there is an old county road near where we used to live that no ones lived on, then or now and being the closet road between a wet and dry county concerning liquor, it was a favorite of drunks..so we called it drunkers lane, the county called it whiskey shoot road. The old road had once been used as the main highway, but had since moved over a mile or so, but the old concrete tunnels that run under the road were (are) still there, making a perfect getaway plan for our idea. JT would be bigfoot and I would be the alien. We decided we would go down there about 10 at night..
Well JT got his old halloween mask, a ape, and his grandmas old fake fur coat and his daddys combat boots. And I borrowed my moms aluminum foil and a flashlight. The idea was to wait till a car or truck(in most cases a truck) was coming and when they got close, run across the road, jump in the ditch and hide inside the concrete tunnel. We decided to make it more interesting by making bigfoot foot prints everywhere we could find in the neighborhood, like close to the backporch, driveways, and in gardens.
We waited until a Friday night, a sure bet for drunks, and I wrapped myself the best I could in aluminum foil..figured the headlights would reflect pretty good of it, and JT got all dressed up in his bigfoot garb and we headed off down the road. Anticipation is tough when your a kid, and I still remember waiting with anticipation for that first set of headlight to come in between the bean fields. It wasnt too long until we got our wish..a car, I could tell from the low headlights...JT went first, and I wasnt too far behind him, but as soon as I got in the middle of the road, I tripped on the duct tape and fell down hard..twisting my ankle..I got up and ran.. hoping i had wrapped the old hardhat good enough in duct tape and aluminum foil so that no one could tell I was human. Well the car slammed on its breaks and then stopped..and someone got out, two someones, so we hightailed it back thru the woods to my house as fast as possible. My dad was on the front porch. He said boys, the county sheriff just stopped by and said for me to tell yall to be extra careful, theres a alien with a limp and some creature that looks like a overgrown beaver running out loose and yall better come in for the night
..I quickly put my hurting ankle down.
At that time i didnt put 2 and 2 together that it had been a police car that we had ran out in front of.
