Direct interview Oregon Bigfoot #404

Man spots Bigfoot in field

March 1969 Forest Groce, Washington County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving a spray rig by an orchard and scanning a neighboring field when he noticed a tall dark figure walking through tall brush. He stopped the tractor and watched from the hood as the figure continued into a walnut grove and failed to reemerge. Days later he estimated its height by measuring a comparison tree, finding no footprints on the hard ground.
