Man recounts sighting from his teens near Edinburg

Two companions were fishing at a mostly frozen pond in winter when a large hair-covered bipedal figure stood up on the far shoreline. The figure walked up a steep hill, turned at the top to look back at them, then left. The witnesses watched for about one to two minutes and then left as well.

Sighting in the Audubon wildlife preserve, outside Aurora

The witness rode a bike into a forested wildlife area with a stream and swamp. About 50 yards away, the witness saw a reddish-haired figure walking south toward a road, initially thinking it was a man before deciding it was not. The witness did not recall the lower half of the body, became frightened, and left quickly, only later associating the experience with Bigfoot.

Daylight sighting by motorcyclist near Atwater

The witness and a sibling were riding a motorcycle through former strip-mine land in the late afternoon. They approached two distant figures first mistaken for acquaintances, then perceived as large hair-covered human-like beings that stood and left on two legs. After the beings looked toward them and disappeared into the woods, the pair heard loud branch-breaking as something ran off, then they left the area quickly.
