Class A First-hand BFRO #56937

Motorist sighting of grayish-white sasquatch 3 miles east of Winona

17 May 2012 9ish p.m. Winona, Shannon County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home at night when the headlights illuminated a tall grayish-white upright figure starting to cross the highway. The witness stopped and watched it cross slowly from right to left, noting very long arms, a hunched posture, and a strong putrid odor through the open window. The figure glanced toward the vehicle and briefly raised an arm as if blocking the headlights before continuing across.
