Couple observes a Bigfoot outside cabin window in Allegany State Park

20 July 2013 night around 10:30 pm Salamanca, Cattaraugus County, New York 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his wife were inside a rented cabin at night when loud banging shook the structure. The witness shone a flashlight out a window and saw a large hairy biped walking away, which his wife also watched from a second window heading up a ravine. After later noticing a strong foul odor on the porch, the couple packed and drove out of the park the same night.
