Motorist is shaken by a BF visualization
Account
The witness was driving west at night when movement in roadside trees drew attention. A large, dark-furred creature jumped down onto the roadway, turned toward the vehicle with its arms out, then crossed both lanes in three long strides and vanished near a driveway. After rolling down the window, the witness noticed a strong garbage-like odor. The witness stated the animal was neither a bear nor a human and offered the opinion it was a bigfoot.
