Class A First-hand BFRO #8392

Sasquatch walks across road near major forest fire

July 2002 about 11.45 pm Cave Junction, Josephine County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Late at night in July 2002 the witness was driving with a companion on Highway 199 through fire-affected forest when a large hair-covered biped entered the high beams and crossed in front of the vehicle. The witness described instinctual fear and accelerated away while the creature continued across to the trees without running. Both occupants expressed disbelief, and minutes later they passed firefighters who looked shocked.
