Man sees juvenile bigfoot and signs of their presence in area
Account
The witness waited in a parked truck while two companions went metal detecting about a quarter-mile away. After a short nap in the front seat, the witness woke and saw a small ape-like figure looking through the camper-shell window in the rearview mirror for about 20 to 30 seconds. The figure was gone after the witness rubbed eyes, so it was initially dismissed as a dream and not mentioned. Footprints and other signs found on the trail the next day convinced the witness the sighting had been real.
