Stackpole was about to comment on this, when suddenly, Garbus pointed to the tree line up ahead of them. A dark figure, huge and slouching stood against the afternoon sun.
Completely bathed in the sillohute of dark shadow, the creature was clearly not a man.
Stackpole claims he knew right away that they were facing a real live Bigfoot. Garbus said he was sure it was a wild man of the woods or maybe a ghost of an angry miner.
The monster on the ridge started waving its arms above its head. Garbus said once he saw the sieny length of the arms, he knew it was not a ghost or human, but in fact a Sasquatch. The creature started racing toward the two hikers. They both turned tail and ran as fast as they could back the way they came.
They did not stop running until they were back at the car. The Bigfoot chased them the whole way back and then threw rocks at their car until it drove away.
