County Fire investigator spots a possible bigfoot spotted in corn field near Beaver Creek State Park
The witness was driving toward the state park in the morning when he noticed a large black figure crouched in a cut cornfield. The figure rose up slightly and turned its head as the witness watched from the road. The witness judged it was not a person or a bear because of its width, flat facial profile, and lack of prominent ears. He continued driving because of traffic behind him and the figure was gone when he returned to photograph it.
