Afternoon sighting by family on I-5 near Chehalis
Account
Three family members were driving south on an interstate after visiting a relative when they saw a large fur-covered figure crossing nearby railroad tracks. The figure was described as tall with long arms and dark brown fur covering its entire body. The occupants discussed the sighting and concluded it had been a Big Foot, then kept it private for years until sharing it with researchers at a sportsman show.
