Ouija Experience: 'Strobe' Being

Joe in Massachusetts called in to tell of his bizarre experience:

“My best friend and I had quite an experience with a Ouija board. This was back in the early 80s. I was a kid. I grew up outside of Bedford and we were at Faith's house. She used to call herself, laughingly, “a good witch”. Where I grew up was literally a stone's throw from what we call Camp Baker. In the 30s and 40s it was an old Army post. And there were Indian battles fought on my property, so I grew up with a lot of weird things going on, so not much bothered me.

But this night we went over to Faith's house. We messed around with this old Ouija board and my friend Craig had an old oil storm lantern. This was a lantern you could light and hang on your car on a freeway and it wouldn't go out. As soon as we started asking questions on the board, this lamp which was, by the way, full of oil, started flickering. It got to the point where - there were five of us in the room and we were in one of the back bedrooms - anybody in the room could ask a question and the thing. I don't know what it's called, that moved around the board would move around the board... (Lewis tells him its called a planchette) whether we were touching it or not. If it would go off the board which was known to happen, it would shoot off the board. Well, it got to the edge of the board and went off the board. It would pick up and move itself back on. The whole time this oil lantern just flickered and it's the only light in the room.

We got a whole lot more than we bargained for because I can tell you to this day, it identified itself as or with the initials G.W. We never knew what that stood for but at one point, there was a question asked and that storm lantern just flat went out. I went over to the door because I wanted the hell out of that room and as I ran my hand up and down the door looking for the doorknob, which was on the right side of the door when I went in the room, wasn't there and I know I was in the right spot because my hand was up against the door jam. When I finally... I don't even remember what I said but suddenly the door handle is under my hands and I was able to open it and get a little bit of light into the room from in the house. Now my buddy Craig is the type of guy, he's a big huge Dutchman and nothing phases this guy and he was laying back on the bed all but hyperventilating. We decided, we're done with this.

Walking home that night, we lived on a dirt road, and there was a wooden bridge that went over a small creek. We walked over that and we're walking up this slight hill to my house and Craig didn't see it but I did. When you walk, most of the time you eyes fall about 10 to 15 feet on the ground in front of you, well, I looked up and I saw what... The only way to describe it is when you see somebody walk across the room in a strobe light, you know, you see every other step. Somebody walked across the road from the orchard side over to our house, our property and I asked Craig if he saw it and he didn't. Now mind you, this is a couple of high school kids. Well, I'll tell you, it turned me off the Ouija boards forever. I want nothing to do with one and won't let one in my house.”

Grandpa's Upright Wolves

I recently came across the following account:

I decided that I would share some of my grandfather’s stories he told me about his time working as a forester in Michigan’s Manistee National Forest. He never got a chance to write any of his experiences down so I thought I might post them here.

For some background, my grandpa started working in the Manistee area in 1949, when he was 28 years old. Before then he had been drifting around the region, doing odd jobs in logging until he was hired by the Forest Service in the northwest part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. The work, as I understand, was slow and most days he and his crew were sent to different parts of the Forest to address various tree and land concerns. Grandpa was always an avid outdoorsman, and he enjoyed hunting and fishing just about as much as anyone in the region.

Sadly he died in the December of 1998, when I was still rather young, but I remember whenever we went to visit him and Grandma he would sit my brother and me down and tell us about his days in the Forest Service. Working outside every day allowed him to witness all sorts of wildlife, like black bear, whitetail, fox, and even bobcat back in those days. He often relived his encounters with bears while he was deep in the forest, telling us that those moments were some of the most memorable of his life, being up close to such beautiful and powerful animals. Usually his tales were exciting, and the enthusiasm with which he told them inspired us to go out to the backyard and look for animals in between the pines. Although there wasn’t much wildlife around Grandma and Grandpa’s property, they still always kept a close eye on us and never let us wander too far from the house. Finally, a few years before his death, Grandpa deemed my brother and me old enough to be told why.

I was about nine, and my brother was about 11 when Grandpa first opened up about the strangest things that had ever happened to him. All our childhoods we had heard him go on and on about the peace that the wilderness brought him, or used to bring him, but this time his tone was completely different. I don’t remember all the details, but I asked my brother to help piece together Grandpa’s story, and my dad as well (he too had heard of the experiences in question, multiple times).

It was the mid-fifties (he never gave the exact year), and October had rolled in behind cool autumn breezes and the sound of Canada geese flying southward. The first of his strange stories had occurred at night, as he was driving home from a local bar where he and his crew had spent the last few hours after work. It was a windy night, and the pines on either side of the road were blowing ferociously. No moon or stars could be seen through thick cloud cover, so the only illumination of the road ahead came from Grandpa’s headlights. By his reckoning, he must have been going close to 50 miles per hour at the very moment when something huge leapt across the road not 20 feet ahead of him. His headlights had shown the animal’s silhouette; it was dog-shaped, but massive, almost stretching all the way across the road. It only made one bound to get from one side to the other, and its size alone was enough to unnerve Grandpa. At the time, he had assumed that the animal was just a very large wolf, except timberwolves hadn’t been spotted in that region for decades. He considered it a bizarre encounter, but nothing came of it that night and he was able to return home without anything else strange happening to him.

The second of his stories admittedly frightened me enough to avoid going outside at night for years; even now I’m wary of noises in the dark because of the obvious fear in Grandpa’s voice when he told us of his second experience. Some details here were provided by my dad.

It occurred in the same month as his first encounter, a few weeks later, on a night that was pretty cold for the season; it maybe hit 40 degrees, but it was a calm night with little wind. Grandpa’s house at the time was really small, and it stood in a lot with about six other similarly-sized and built edifices. None of his neighbors tended to stay up very late, so it surprised him to be awakened by loud noises at about one in the morning. They sounded like scratching on sheet metal, with occasional thumps and bumps like an animal was trying to get in. Grandpa apparently got up, fetched a flashlight, put on his boots, and went out into the front room (the walls of which consisted of mosquito screens stretched between wooden framework). Once in the front room, Grandpa could hear the sounds more clearly, and they were coming from the nearest of his neighbor’s homes maybe fifty yards to his right. It was incredibly dark out there, with no streetlights to illuminate. The neighbor’s house had a porch light on, but Grandpa couldn’t make out what was creating the racket through the screen, so he slowly opened the front door and looked out. He described to us in great detail the animals that he saw there, and he always said he would remember them exactly as they were, for fear brands memories the strongest.

Three massive dogs covered in long black hair were up against his neighbor’s house, scratching at the siding and making visible claw marks with every swipe. Each beast stood about seven feet tall, with their front legs stretching for another two or three feet and easily reaching the roofing and the gutter of the house. Their scratching, however, did not make it seem like they were trying to get into the house, as Grandpa explained. He thought that they were doing that to get whoever was inside out. The next part was actually the hardest to get out of Grandpa; it was strange that he was so eager to tell us everything thus far, despite how he felt about the subject, but he was rather hesitant as I remember to divulge the last horrifying details of his encounter.

He claims that the animals then noticed that he had emerged from his own house, just across the lawn, for each one turned to look straight at him, just fifty yards away. They had pointed ears like a wolf’s, and huge bodies that rivaled large black bears in size. They also supported themselves not with four legs, like any other native mammal, but instead they stood on two legs each, towering seven feet above the ground. The sounds that they proceeded to make, Grandpa had said, would haunt his dreams for the rest of his life. It was a shame that he could neither produce recordings nor accurately mimic the un-wolflike screams the animals made, for that detail always fascinated me the most about his story. They didn’t sound like foxes, coyotes, or bobcats; instead they forced half-scream, half-howls out of their jaws that Grandpa was sure held the teeth of a carnivore.

Grandpa never told us exactly what happened next; I guess we assumed that he ran inside, locked the doors, and didn’t look outside until morning. He would tell us that four of his neighbors (including the elderly couple that lived in the nearest house) didn’t stick around very long. He did say that he tried to talk to them about what had happened that night, but they remained evasive and never gave him any straight answers. That turned out to be somewhat ironic, because Grandpa himself kept tight-lipped about many of the details of his stories. He would say that he heard those exact screams on two other occasions, both times while he was in the Manistee Forest, and he showed us an old Forest Service report detailing a possible timberwolf sighting in the area (complete with photographs of huge padded paw prints in mud).

The thing is, Grandpa never told anyone his stories but his most trusted family, which is unique among Michigan Dogman witnesses. After the craze that Steve Cook’s “Legend” song stirred in the eighties, it’s no wonder that so many stories from the region surfaced. I had heard a few bits and pieces about the so-called monster before Grandpa told his tale, but it wasn’t until later in life that I realized his encounters had to have been with the same creature. Whether I believe him that massive wolves walk upright through Michigan forests, well I’m still not so sure. But as a modern zoological curiosity, the stories of strange beasts from a passionate woodsman who knew his wildlife certainly remain among the most remarkable I’ve heard, simply because of the genuine emotion with which he related his tales.

Legends like these might just be figments of our collective imagination, so all I can do is present what I’ve heard, and let others judge for themselves what is real and what is pure fiction.

Anyway, as the song goes: don’t go out at night. EF

Bigfoot Encounter Near San Antonio

I recently received a telephone call from a San Antonio suburban resident who has been experiencing Bigfoot activity on their property.

The witness (BH) states that the outside home alarm system has been activated several times in the past, but a recent encounter has caused her concern.

A few nights ago, the alarm on her driveway was triggered. Since there had been significant rain in the area lately, she decided to go outside and check the battery / wiring to make sure that it hadn't been compromised. As she was examining the module, she heard a rustling sound and then a frightening growl behind her. The sound was coming from the direction of her van in the far end of the driveway. When she turned, she encountered a dark hair-covered being that stood at least a foot above her van. Her description was that it looked like the Bigfoot in 'Harry and the Hendersons' as far as overall shape...but that it bared its large teeth and that the eyes were reddish-yellow. She also noticed a distinct odor...not foul, but similar to Pine or Spruce. It continued to growl at her in a threatening manner. She quickly ran into the house and told her fiance. He grabbed a firearm and went out to check...but the creature was gone.

BH has lived in the house for 18 years, but has only noticed activity in the past 2 years. She states that they have seen 'eye shine' from the trees in back of the property (Maple, Mesquite, Cedar) several times. There has also been pet mutilation in the neighborhood during this time period. The nearby residents are keenly aware of the activity. One neighbor has gathered physical evidence. She is afraid to be outside at night. She is an artist and has enjoyed amateur astronomy...but does not feel safe in her own backyard.

I have referred her concerns to an investigator in the area. I plan to follow-up on the situation. Lon

BEKs at Youth Correctional Facility

MacLaren Youth Correctional is located in Woodburn, Oregon:

“Yeah, I just got out of McLaren. I don't know if you know the history of McLaren. It's a youth correctional facility for the Oregon Youth Authority. There's some...I'm not able to say names just because where it is but there was some kids that just had black eyes. They were really creepy to be around, quiet. It was eerie just because how they would act.

They're dark, they're cold. A lot of them, I don't want to say that they were Wicca but you could tell they performed something Satanic or not normal. (Clyde Lewis asks how did he know about this) There were some words, some stuff being spread around, you know how hearsay is. There's a lot of drama over there. They would act like, they would act totally different. They'd spend a lot of time to themselves and not talk to anybody. They wouldn't be near anybody. They'd go to church and just stare off into space or they'd just be out there. (Lewis asks if the eyes were completely black, no whites) Yeah, well, like sometimes. Like we'd be at the school. I worked at...there's a metal shop out there and you'd be working and a kid would have a torch or something and he'd be just, he'd be watching a flame and his eyes would just go black. It was scary. You just didn't know what to expect. You know, like, Oh my god, is he gonna kill me or am I gonna be okay? (Lewis asks if it was drug related) No, no, no! They are pretty strict over there on drugs so I really don't think it would be drug related. I would think it would be possession of some sort. That would be my thing, I think that there are a lot of kids that would go in there that were possessed by something.”

Stalked by Huge Biped in West Virginia

The following account was recently forwarded to me by the witness:

Last year I was backpacking with my brother in mountains of West Virginia. To get to our destination we had to drive for about 2 hours up a very long and deep-ditched road. After reaching the mountain, we got all of the gear out of the car and started our hour-long hike into the woods. Our destination was at the edge of a small lake. Behind us, was the long path back to the car which was covered by fallen trees and thick brush. The area was surrounded by high jagged cliffs.

After about an hour of resting, we set up camp and started a fire. We proceeded to cook as the sun set over the large rock walls across the lake from us. Just after the sun went down is when the strangeness began. Every half-hour or so, my brother would hear what he said were soft footsteps coming from the trail behind us. I was really tired and kept blowing it off as a joke. However as the night passed on, he refused to stop talking about what he was hearing. I told him to shut up because I was tired of hearing it.

At around 11PM the situation became more bizarre. I had nodded off, with my head propped on a log. Then suddenly, a large crash could be heard from across the lake. My brother and I both got to our feet, grabbed our shotgun and 44. mag. and walked to the edge of the lake to see if we could spot what had made the noise. After a minute of staring into the pitch black night, we decided to go back and lay down. We both thought that it must have been a loose bolder that had fallen off the face of the ridge. That was until my brother told me to stop in an abrupt whisper. 'Look there', he said pointing towards the ridge to our left. It was then that I realized my brother really was hearing things all night long. About 100 yards away from us, in the tree line, was a figure that looked to be at least 10 ft tall with glowing golden eyes. Paralyzed with fear, my brother and I watched as the large figure swayed back and forth, never taking his eyes off of us. 'Let's get the f**k out of here!', my brother yelled while shooting a round from his 44. mag into the lake. At this point, the figure stopped and stared. It's eyes seemed to get larger and brighter. Then, just as quick, the eyes were gone.

We immediately started stoking the fire as fast as we could. Not knowing if the figure would return, we decided to stay up all night taking turns adding logs to the fire. After an hour or so, we heard a faint rustling in the brush. The rustling then stopped, when all of a sudden this thing roared out the most terrible scream that I had ever heard.

We grabbed our guns and gear. It was time to leave! We both started to sprint into the darkness with our lights turned off. We ran into the woods for at least 10 minutes, until the two of us were out of breath and stopped. We turned on our lights to find the path and listened for the creature. It was moving towards us! We could hear the pounding of footsteps and branches snapping. This time the lights stayed on as we ran non-stop, tripping over obstacles, until we reached the car. The two of us threw our gear into the vehicle and locked the doors behind us. My brother was shaking from fear, and fumbling with the keys. Just as he got the keys into the ignition, a loud scream from the creature blasted from the darkness. He started the car and gunned it.

I don't know WTF that thing was. All I can say is that I will never return to those woods to find out. BP

NOTE: I was finally able to contact the witness. From the information I was given, I believe the area was in the higher regions of the Monongahela National Forest, possibly near Gaudineer Knob or Bald Knob. The incident occurred in the summer of 2017. BTW, I believe it may have been a Bigfoot...but I wouldn't rule out an upright canine, because of the eye color. There have been historical reports of both in the general area. Lon

'Man in Black Hoodie' Haunting

I recently received the following account:

Hey Lon! I really love your books and blogs. There is a lot of great info. I have an encounter you might like to hear about.

Until I got married I was always on the fence about ghosts. According to my parents we lived in a haunted house and I had some odd experiences. I had always believed in God but was unsure of ghosts until I got married.

When I got married my wife and I moved into a nice little townhouse. When we originally were looking at it I got a strange vibe in the place. I took it as nerves. When we moved in the feelings got worse. It always felt like something was there. I would always hear what sounded like talk radio in our place. Whenever I laid my head down I would hear it. As soon as I sat up you could not hear it. I would hear footsteps in my room when I would be downstairs by myself.

While all this was going on I had just started working in a soap factory. I worked third shift. On my shift we would all see this man in black. It looked like a man in a black hoodie with black glasses. He would always kind of power walk past the room we worked in. After a few months I noticed this black figure was gone. We all noticed it and thought nothing of it.

A few weeks later it was Thanksgiving and I was on my way to my mom's. I forgot my wedding ring and ran back to my place. As I ran inside I closed the door behind me but not completely. I was the only one there. It was closed to a crack. When I came back downstairs I went to pull the door open but it would not budge. Not only did the door close completely but the dead bolt activated. My wife and I never used the deadbolt because it was so hard to activate.

A few weeks later I was getting ready for work when I seen the man in black pass from my guest room past my bathroom into my bedroom. He was moving swiftly. From there on things kicked into high gear. The feeling of being watched got worse. You know that feeling as a kid you got when you pissed off your parents and you could tell they were mad? That was how the atmosphere was in my place.

My alarms would change. I originally used to have three alarms to wake me up (I am not good at getting up). One particular incident all my alarms were be set for buzzer and I woke up an hour after they went off. Alarms were set to radio and turned all the way down.

One night I came home early from work. My wife got up out of bed and as she was gone I noticed what looked like shadows of trees swaying on my way. I immediately got scared because there were no trees behind my place and it was not windy outside. In fact as soon as my wife came back the shadows were gone. I was wide awake when this happened. It was too early for to sleep. I also began to have a re-occurring nightmare of being held down in my bed by this little girl. I refused to sleep in our room. Keep on mind it was daylight out. Even if my wife was home I would not sleep upstairs.

During the day when I would try to sleep on the couch I would hear footsteps upstairs. No one was home. It got to a point where I never slept anymore.

One night after my wife and had just got over an argument I laid down upstairs against my will. I was wide awake when my foot my grabbed. I looked over and my wife was curled up asleep. It was not long after that incident we moved out. Even though my wife really had no incidents I was becoming a wreck. I had other experiences after this but it never felt like I was being personally targeted like I was in our townhouse. JM

8 Ft. Hairy Biped Observed in Four Corners

My family and I were traveling down Highway 160 between 5043 and Teec Nos Pos, Arizona heading towards Four Corners monument on Sunday 09/02/2018 at approximately 11am. While driving we saw lots of wildlife and came upon a large herd of what I believe to have been sheep. The odd thing about this encounter while driving down the highway was a figure that three of us all saw, that was approaching the herd. This figure was about 8 feet tall with unnaturally long arms that seems to almost touch the ground. The figure was slightly hunched standing on two legs and was walking up to the herd of sheep. This image stuck with me the entire trip because I do not know what it was that I saw. I am certain it was not a trick of the light or anything of that nature. - MUFON

NOTE: the description is most likely a 'Furry One' as referenced by JC Johnson in the past. Lon

Hovering Robed Man in Indiana

Medora, Indiana - 2012-07-21: For a few seconds a man hovered in air over water, east fork of White River next to longest covered bridge in US, Medora, Indiana. I and a 14 year old boy where walking through flooded river to try and get to covered bridge when he appeared, it lasted only seconds. The boy did not see anything. The man's clothing appeared ancient. He was wearing a white robe with a red robe over the white one, long sleeves, which defied gravity by not falling down. He was barefoot. His hands where posed, one was up one was down, as where his feet, one leg was raised and one wasn't. His fingers where posed as well. I could see his white robe bleeding through the red robe. Like it was a large knit. His face looked not unlike you know who (Jesus). Brown skin, long black or dark brown hair, some facial hair. One second he was there, one second he was gone.

I consider myself a sensitive having seen and felt many paranormal events. I am reporting it here hoping to at least preserve what I saw, and that no one else seems interested. I tried to research online to see if paranormal activity was reported near bridge, as often is case, but came up empty. Although in general area you can find all kind of paranormal activity. In this area of weird Indiana are all types of strange stories. Such as a Blue Lady, bigfoot in same area, legends of big black cats, two headed rattlesnake just discovered in same area. Nazi secret aircraft at Freeman USAF base during WWII, Indiana Stonehenge on top of Brown Mountain, Millrace monster sighting of 1974 in Columbus, Indiana and many more. I was 55 at time of sighting i was 55. Please keep me anonymous, as you can imagine how this story goes over. - MUFON

'I Have a Bigfoot Problem'

I recently received the following account:

Hi...during the past month or so, there has been strange activity around my property and the area surrounding it. I strongly feel that I have a Bigfoot problem. Here is what has been going on.

I live alone in a rural part of northern Arkansas, in the Ozarks. My closet neighbor is about a half mile down the road from me. Each evening before dusk, I walked my 2 dogs along the road and occasionally off into the woods.

Since early September, when we'd reach an area near the edge of my property during our walks, small rocks and branches have been hurled from the woods in our direction. In fact, one evening my Pitbull was hit in the hindquarters, hard enough to cause swelling. The dogs have reacted violently during a few walks, but not all the time. Because of the initial activity, I decided to walk my dogs in the other direction along the road.

About a week ago, the same activity started along the new route. For the past few days, I have just allowed the dogs to roam on their own in the yard and woods around my house. I figured that the dogs would avoid any danger and stay clear of whatever was in the area. I believe that they have been OK, and have returned to the house after 10 minutes or so.

Now I have another problem. Wednesday night (October 3rd) there were blood curdling screams coming from the woods behind my property. I have never heard anything like it before. It sounded like someone or something was in terrible pain, and it was coming from several directions. The dogs cowered in the basement and would not come upstairs until the next morning, when I left them outside. When I opened the back door, there was an horrific stench that still lingers in the air. It smells like old road kill, to be honest. The dogs stayed in the yard, and quickly did their business and ran back into the house.

Last night, it was fairly quiet, but around 10PM I noticed something bizarre near the woodpile at the back of my yard. I could barely make out the large tall form as I watched from my porch. I'd say it was at least 7 ft in height. But whatever it was had, literally, glowing red eyes. I looked at it for about 15 seconds, then it quickly vanished.

I told my brother about the incidents, and he suggested that it may be a Bigfoot. He gave me your email after searching online. If we could talk, that would be great. HH

NOTE: I called the witness today and discussed the incidents. He has lived in the house for over 10 years and has never experienced anything unusual previously. The witness is skeptical when it comes to the paranormal, but he truly believes that he has a Bigfoot-like being in his vicinity. At this point, HH asked that I not be specific about his location when posting the account. I will keep in touch with HH in order to assess any further activity. Lon

Unexplained Encounters...I'm I Crazy?

I recently found the following account. I'd like the readers' opinions:

A little background: in 2010-2012 I was fresh out of high school and took part in a ghost hunting team in a township in Texas that had one of the highest rates of paranormal activity in the world. During these experiments we did regarding supernatural entities there were about 4-5 instances where we encountered real unexplained phenomena. Two stick out to me.

1: The most striking was an investigation we did at a local urban legend, an isolated place in the middle of nowhere called "Screaming Sheila's Bridge" where several occult activities and murders had been reported. After two hours of nothing burger as we were leaving, a dark presence came upon the forested glen. My friend decided to taunt the spirit of the forest and without hesitation A blood curdling scream erupted causing all wildlife in the forest to "run for the hills" immediately; coyotes, rabbits, deer, insects, birds...the whole nine yards. My friend began walking slowly towards the scream in a trance like state without speaking. My other friend and I rushed to grab him, and as we did another scream erupted. We hopped in the van, our electrical instruments going off the charts, and scurried away through 35 miles of uninhabited land, back to safety.

2: Using our electrical monitoring equipment in a church that had experienced aggression from a local satanic cult, and had found leftover Wiccan rituals in its attic, we set up shop in the creepy church next to a lake and began communicating with what claimed to be a reptilian entity. One recording device was left alone in tandem with a camera for two hours. When we retrieved the device we played it back and were shocked that five minutes into the recording that flames could be heard. The flames continued to build for several minutes, seemingly growing. Checking the camera, we were astonished to see nothing. Not a whimper. Nor could we hear anything. After a few moments of flames on the recording it turns into white noise for the remaining hour and forty minutes. Rising, and rising to the point where near the end the pain threshold is reached, it's so loud. Then it abruptly ends, coinciding with the part of the camera footage where we retrieved the device. Analyzing the white noise revealed that the entity was speaking through it, calling out all three of our names and using the word "f**k" a lot. That's all the language we could make out.

These experiences and many more shaped my perception of what is possible.

In November of 2014 I was abducted by what you know as the Greys and they forced me and four other young men to kill an entire planet of humanoids, in iron man-like machines.

They claimed (telepathically as they do not need to speak) that I was there for a "special purpose" and that I was "family". They seemed to have an intense infatuation with me and I was not really scared of the experience although I woke up in sleep paralysis, not remembering who I was temporally; that part was quite horrifying.

In your opinion, am I crazy? Has anyone else experienced these kinds of things? Ihopeitsround

NOTE: This account is a good example of an experiencer 'doubting' themselves. I constantly hear and read similar scenarios. What do you believe? Lon

Bigfoot Pair Observed Near Crater Lake, Oregon

I recently received the following account:

I received a telephone call from 'KD' today, who states that she observed two 7+ ft Bigfoot crossing the highway in front of her.

KD was returning to her home in central Oregon after spending the week in California. The incident occurred on a clear day (Sunday September 30th) around 2PM PT while she was driving north on Oregon Rt. 230 in the vicinity of Crater Lake.

The two creatures walked out onto the highway, one behind the other, and briskly crossed the road in front of KD (west to east toward Crater Lake). She estimates that the pair reached the east side shoulder of the highway approximately 30 ft. from her...so she was able to get a good description of the Bigfoot pair.

KD has lived in Oregon and California all of her 60 years, but has never seen one of these beings before. She states that both Bigfoot were very similar in height and body mass...7+ ft and extremely muscular. She assumes both were male. They were covered in medium brown fur / hair, with no other distinguishable features. KD states that they were definitely not human, though they moved fluidly like a human, with arms swaying back and forth as they walked. She says that they traversed the width of the roadway in 6-7 strides each. She was amazed at how nonchalant the two Bigfoot were...not seeming to care what was around them. There were no other vehicles in the vicinity at the time of the sighting.

This sighting was made in Klamath County, Oregon, an area well-known for Bigfoot observations, and possible habituations...as well as other legends.
