Account

About 1998 the witness was driving west with two companions when they saw cars swerving ahead. In the headlights they watched a large dark-haired biped take a very long step across the road, cross a canal and continue onto a golf course. The driver turned around to take a different route while the companions identified the figure as a bigfoot.
