Account
The witness was mushroom picking with a companion along a ridge around noon. A distant figure first thought to be another hunter came closer and was described as a tall reddish Bigfoot. It approached to within 75-100 feet while walking crouched and swinging its arms, then left over the ridge after the witness yelled. The companion did not see it.
