Account
As a teenager driving home, the witness's headlights illuminated a thin, reddish-brown figure estimated at about 6 feet tall near a dip past a bridge. The figure turned its head and looked directly at the witness. Terrified at the time, the witness thought it was a devil but later interpreted it as a young Bigfoot.
