Class B First-hand BFRO #7759

Young man has strange encounter on a dark gravel road at Big Bear Lake Resort

August 1963 9 pm, dark night Big Bear Lake Resort., San Bernardino County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness walked alone at night up a gravel mountain road toward a cabin after retrieving a wallet in town. Something unseen below the road in steep brush kept pace, breaking branches and dislodging rocks, stopping when the witness stopped and moving faster after rocks were tossed at it. Before reaching a bend where the road met the canyon, relatives arrived by car and the witness got in and left.
