Class A First-hand BFRO #1108

Bigfoot sighted in Stony Lagoon south of Orick,Ca by two men camping who were so frightened they left in middle of night.

June 1975 night under bright moon Orick, Humboldt County, California 2 witnesses

Account

Two people camped overnight near the beach while traveling to fish. Under bright moonlight they watched a large humanlike figure trot south down the beach, and a companion called to it without effect. They later found very large widely spaced footprints in the sand, heard noises in nearby brush, and the companion reported eyeshine before they quickly left.
