Man remembers his daylight sighting of a bigfoot standing on a stump next to Discovery Bay

15 September 1986 one to two hours before sunset Discovery Bay, Jefferson County, Washington 5 witnesses

Account

The witness, traveling with four companions for target practice, left the truck and saw a tall upright figure standing on a stump overlooking the bay. The figure turned to look at the witness, stared, then turned away, turned again after the witness shouted, and walked quickly into dense forest. The companions did not see the figure but all later found prints, heard crashing branches, and noticed a faint unusual odor.
