Family has very close nighttime encounter with three Bigfoots on Spokane Indian Reservation

Account

The witness family drove at night to check wildfire damage and stopped to inspect smoldering spots. After hearing grunts and clicking mouth sounds, headlights revealed three hair-covered figures of different sizes standing near burnt trees. The largest figure gestured with its arm and vocalized loudly, then stepped toward the witness as the group retreated to the car and left. The encounter reportedly lasted about ten minutes.
