First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 791

Paranormal encounter in California (2017)

2017–2018 day California 1 witness

Account

The guest hiked alone at Panther Meadows near seasonal closure and saw an old man with a cane moving slowly. He repeatedly disappeared and reappeared uphill impossibly fast, banging his cane as if guiding her. She followed partway, felt unsafe about entering the mountain, got briefly lost, then returned to a busy area with help finding water.
