Class A First-hand BFRO #8227

Driver stops, approaches bigfoot on foot around midnight on Hwy 138, 4 miles W of Glide

October 2002 about midnight Glide, Douglas County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home around midnight when he saw a tall figure standing by a roadside fence watching him pass. Believing it was a man needing help, he stopped, got out with a flashlight, and started walking back toward it. A loud vocalization shifting from high-pitched to low guttural frightened him, causing him to drop the flashlight and drive away. He returned the next day to recover the flashlight and found only flattened grass with no footprints or hair.
