Couple has close encouter with a large bigfoot near Shady Spring

A couple riding an ATV over a small hill encountered a tall black creature standing beside the trail behind a narrow tree. The driver first mistook it for a stump, then realized its size as it turned its head toward them. The wife screamed upon seeing it, and they fled rapidly on the ATV without being followed.

28 September 2007 Shady Spring [outside Beckley], Raleigh County, West Virginia Class A #23411

Multiple sightings in daylight outside Shady Spring

Two companions driving home in the early evening stopped to watch a huge brown furry biped about 200 yards away above a hay field. The figure stood taller than a fence and walked upright before disappearing over a ridge. The witnesses, who said they had not taken Bigfoot seriously before, told family about the sighting.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
