Four witnesses in a vehicle see a probable sasquatch 1 mile north of Trinidad

20 February 2013 a little after 5:00 p.m. Trinidad, Humboldt County, California 4 witnesses

Account

Four women driving south on Patricks Point Road near Trinidad in the late afternoon watched a very tall, dark figure walk across the road in front of their car. The figure was described as solid black head to toe, trim with broad shoulders and arms reaching near the knees, moving with a purposeful stride from forested land on one side into thick brush with no visible trail on the other. The occupants were struck by its height, smoothness, and silhouette appearance without visible face or clothing lines, and afterward wondered if it had been a Bigfoot.
