Class A First-hand BFRO #51304

Road crossing seen by mother and daughter travelling at dusk near Salem

October 2015 dusk around 7 pm Salem Ohio 44460 Heading Toward Canfield, Columbiana County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was driving toward a highway intersection at dusk in misty rain with a relative as passenger. She slowed for movement on the left thinking it was a deer, then watched a tall, very thin, brown-haired creature cross the road in a few steps without looking at the car. It continued through grass and up a driveway behind a house into the woods. Both occupants reacted with shock at having seen a Bigfoot.
