Account
The witness and a companion were on an extended camping trip in woods outside Eureka. While taking turns watching the area, the companion spotted an animal on a ridge and the witness viewed it through binoculars, noting it walked on two legs and suggesting it might be a bigfoot. The companion was initially doubtful but was convinced after a later close encounter while using the facilities.
