Tribal members on Rocky Boy Indian Reservation record a Bigfoot encounter

October 2024 about 11 or 11:30 pm Box Elder, Hill County, Montana 4 witnesses

Account

Four companions were at a forest picnic camping area late at night and tried wood knocks after noticing eyeshine. Two companions left the vehicle with lights and encountered a very tall hair-covered figure that stepped from behind a tree, looked at them, then walked away slowly. After retreating to the vehicle, the group saw a brown shape crawling toward them and drove away quickly. A companion recorded video of the encounter on a phone.
