Couple has possible daylight encounter near Proxy Falls
Account
The witness and a companion hiked about three miles into a wilderness area and stopped in a small meadow. From the surrounding trees they heard heavy footsteps and low soft grunting as an unseen source circled them twice over about ten minutes. Becoming uneasy, they walked out, stopped to listen, then hurried to their car while discussing the possibility it was Bigfoot.
