Multiple sightings in daylight outside Shady Spring
Account
Two companions driving home in the early evening stopped to watch a huge brown furry biped about 200 yards away above a hay field. The figure stood taller than a fence and walked upright before disappearing over a ridge. The witnesses, who said they had not taken Bigfoot seriously before, told family about the sighting.
