Class B First-hand BFRO #23291

Possible sighting at the base of Mount Timpanogos (west side of the mountain)

Winter 1998 winter night around 10-10:30 Lindon, Utah County, Utah 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and family were playing ping-pong in the walk-out basement when the witness let the dog into the backyard. The dog barked and backed away from the neighbor's fence line, where the witness saw the moonlit silhouette of a tall figure's head above the fence. After watching briefly, the witness saw the figure duck, turn toward a ravine, and leave silently. The witness later interpreted the figure as possibly Bigfoot based on its height relative to the fence.
