Account

The witness and a companion were driving on a highway in the morning when they saw a tall, dark, hairy figure walking toward them on a bluff beside the road. As they got close they could see its face and body clearly, noting it wore no clothes and had a peaked head. It looked toward their car, then turned and walked into the woods up a bank. The two occupants confirmed with each other that they had seen what they called Bigfoot.
