Class B First-hand BFRO #16734

Possible road crossing sighting in the Francis Marion National Forest

10 October 2004 about dusk Cordesville, Berkeley County, South Carolina 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on Hwy 402 at dusk to load steel when an animal was seen ahead on all fours crossing the road. The witness first thought horse or bear but rejected those due to unnatural gait, thin body, excessive height, long dark brown hair, and small head. The witness slowed and stopped where it entered thick woods and estimated it would stand about 9 feet tall, believing it was a bigfoot.
