Susan Farnsworth’s story continued (from Bigfoot In Arizona Part 2) The event took place on Memorial day, 2008. They do not give a specific location, but state that it is on the Mogollon Rim near Young, Arizona. Susan and DR woke up to having their tent squished down upon them. As soon as Susan reached her pistol and cocked the hammer, the tent was released and popped back into shape. The story continues:
“I never saw a man move so fast as DR did. He was out of the bed and had pistol in hand before I reached the center of the tent. He started making very angry noises and hitting the sides of the tent with his pillow. He was trying to frighten away whatever was outside.
I calmed down enough to turn on an electric lantern, and threw it outside. This allowed us to peek under the rain fly and see a short distance outside. Hopefully nothing outside could see our shadows from the inside. We could see nothing moving, and nothing was near the tent. I must admit, if anything would have touched the tent at that point, we would have blasted it, and the tent would have had a new door!
We waited for a few moments (which seemed like an eternity to me), then DR slipped out side. He picked up the lantern and did a quick walk around. I headed straight for the truck. Once inside, I started the engine and turned on the lights. I was ready to hit the gas if anything was spotted, all the while having the door open for DR to jump in.
We decided to go to the nearest town and come back in the daylight to get our tent and stuff. The next day we found no foot prints, but there were some places where the pine needles had been pushed back on my side of the tent.
I still quake in my boots whenever I think about it. However, I do kick myself for not setting my motion detectors, game cameras, and recorder. And, if we would have seen the creature, I probably would not have taken any pictures. That was the last thing on my mind. I was too busy beating a hasty retreat! Cameras and pictures were the last things on my mind. I also know that I sound just about like the woman in the horror film when they get surprised by the monster. I laugh about that. “
