Fisherman has a short first encounter on a damp afternoon, as a creature crosses the road in front of his vehicle

The witness was driving slowly looking for a fishing spot in mid-afternoon when an animal crossed the road almost in front of the truck. He saw only its back, one arm, and coned head for a few seconds before it disappeared into riverside foliage. After turning around he found a couple of large footprints with a long stride. He described the animal as over seven feet tall, heavily built, with long muscular arms and no visible neck.

Road-crossing sighting by motorists on Hwy 101 while passing lagoon near Trinidad

The witness was driving on a four-lane highway with a companion and an infant when a tall hairy figure ran across the road about 50 yards ahead and entered the forest. The witness shouted that it was Bigfoot, but the companion was dismissive. They drove back to the crossing point, looked into the thick forest, then left because it felt too spooky.

Woman has close up night sighting in car lights on Highway 299

Two people in a car at night watched a large hair-covered figure enter the highway from the driver's side and cross in three unhurried strides while turning its upper body to glance at them. The passenger described a tall robust adult male with long legs, human-like hands and nose, and shaggy hair darker with a rusty hue on the torso and face and lighter dirty-blonde on the arms. The figure moved with a fluid human-like arm swing but with same-side arm and leg moving together.
