Class A First-hand BFRO #63218

Daylight sighting of a Bigfoot near N. Branch Lamoille River in Eden

8 August 2019 10:15 am Eden, Lamoille County, Vermont 1 witness

Account

On a sunny morning the witness stepped onto the deck to check on a barking dog and watched a black two-legged human-like figure walk past the end of the driveway for about 12 seconds until it disappeared behind trees. The figure was described as hunching then straightening, with long swinging arms and its head turned away. Later that day the witness found bent weeds and faint barefoot-like depressions where the figure had reportedly come from the woods.
