Class A First-hand BFRO #868

Campers have sighting above Pinecrest

BFRO YEAR: 1994,1995 at dusk the next evening Pinecrest, Tuolumne County, California 7 witnesses

Account

A group camping with horses heard the horses startle something at dusk and then saw a huge brown figure about 6 feet tall running extremely fast across a meadow away from the horses in a cloud of dust. One tethered horse was so frightened it jumped over another horse. The witness concluded the figure could not have been a bear because of the sound it made and the way it ran.
