First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 817

Odor near Great Falls, Montana (1976)

1976 Great Falls, Montana 2 witnesses

Account

At age nine the witness was horseback riding with an older girl near a quarry when the horses grew antsy, a strong skunk-like odor appeared, a roar was heard, and a basketball-sized rock landed near the fence. After riding home alone, she saw a very large, round-headed, broad-shouldered figure moving fast and gracefully across a cut alfalfa field, which then disappeared.
