wildlife biological technician sees Bigfoot while working in the woods

One of them then watched a large dark animal dash across the trail on two legs with a quick agile motion. Both men heard the movement, but only one saw the animal.

Five boys were camping overnight in a repaired old logging cabin in the woods. During the night they were awakened by huffing, shuffling and prying sounds as something circled and probed the cabin walls. When the door was opened they saw only dark hairy legs in the darkness, a companion fired a rifle, and the creature screamed and fled with heavy thuds, leaving torn ground and indentations.
