Class A First-hand BFRO #76933

Multi-witness daylight sighting of a bigfoot along powerline route north of Centrailia

4 February 2024 12:16pm Centralia, Thurston County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and two companions stopped during a motorcycle ride in a clear-cut on private timber land outside Centralia. A child pointed across the valley toward a distant ridgeline and powerline right-of-way, prompting the adults to look. About a half-mile away they watched a very large tan-brown human-shaped bipedal figure move swiftly toward a treeline, describing long arms held at the sides, a hunched-forward posture, and fast effortless strides.
