Two teenagers encounter Bigfoot while bowhunting
Account
In 1976 the witness, then a teenager, trespassed with a companion onto a fenced industrial property to hunt squirrels with bows. The witness reported watching a tall, reddish-brown hair-covered figure stand nearby chewing vegetation and looking at them for about 20 seconds. After the witness alerted the companion, the witness claimed to receive a telepathic threat, grabbed the bow, and both fled without further contact.
