Man witness bigfoot while hitchhiking america
Account
The witness was hitchhiking and stopped for the night near a highway overpass bordered by woods. After feeling watched while trying to camp, the witness fled to the overpass and used a phone booth. From there the witness saw a very tall, broad dark shape emerge from the treeline about 150 yards away, pace briefly toward the witness and along the treeline, then disappear into the woods. Another person driving by then offered the witness a place to stay and a ride onward in the morning.
