Two men taking a short hike encounter bigfoot on the path
Account
Two hikers heard heavy footsteps while hiking a forest trail and later found broken trees and hair caught on a bush. As they headed back near dark, a rock was thrown across the trail and they heard screaming/whooping sounds and later a low grunt/growl. A creature stepped across the path, stared at them, then darted back into the brush, after which they drove to town and were told hikers had seen it for months.
