Account
The witness rode a bike into a forested wildlife area with a stream and swamp. About 50 yards away, the witness saw a reddish-haired figure walking south toward a road, initially thinking it was a man before deciding it was not. The witness did not recall the lower half of the body, became frightened, and left quickly, only later associating the experience with Bigfoot.
