I saw that human figure

A listener writes ” I have always been interested in unexplained stuff but only recently became more interested in Bigfoot. I believe I had an encounter about a year ago. My husband and I and one of our friends are gamblers so we frequent casinos in the area.

We tend to gamble a lot of hours so we are frequently driving on the roads in the wee hours of the morning. One of the things we do is casino hop between several Native American casinos in Wisconsin. Sometimes we hit 4 or 5 casinos in a 24 hour period. Between 2 of the casinos that we go to we have to take a rural highway that goes through several forests. It’s a tricky drive, there are hardly any houses out that way. There are I think, 1 or 2 correctional institutions and whole lot of forest. There are so many deer on that road that we have to be on the lookout at all times.

Well it was my turn to drive one night when we left the Ho-chunk Black River Falls Casino in Wisconsin at 3 am and headed down Hwy 54 toward the Ho-chunk Casino in Nekoosa, WI, it’s about 45 minutes to an hour between the 2 casinos. I can’t remember exactly where we were on Highway 54 but I am almost certain it was just after we had left the Black River Falls Casino, shortly down the road. I believe it was just after or right around where 54 meets K. There is a camp ground there where they hold Native American Pow Wows. The road down K leads to some town called Hatfield, WI. I’ve seen the sign but never turned down K. Anyway, right about there at that intersection I saw something on the left side of the road. The headlights caught it. It had a human form but was big and I noticed ROUND GOLDEN EYES, it had turned to look at the headlights. It was 3 am, so there is no one out there at that time, driving, let alone crossing the highway. My immediate thought was, “What the heck is somebody doing out crossing the dark highway at 3 am. This is a scary forest.” I am a pretty observant person, more so than the average person. I’ve been accused of being a detective by a few of my ex-boyfriends. 😉 I don’t really seek things out, it’s just my nature to observe more detail than most people. Well in that split second that I saw that human figure, I observed a few things. First the late hour, the height (probably 7 feet or taller), a reddish brown color, golden yellow round eyes and finally the way it turned to look at the headlights. It turned fully at the waist. It did not turn it’s head the way most people would have done to look over at the lights, instead it swiveled it’s whole upper body to turn toward the lights. The 2 other people in the car were busy talking and did not notice it.

It was just a brief encounter but it stayed with me. Just because of the things I noted above. I looked into the Bigfoot subject to see if any encounters had happened in Wisconsin. Of course I came across the BRFO website where I saw an encounter from about 2002, I think it was. The person encountered a Bigfoot walking down the side of the road to Hatfield, WI, pretty much just a few miles or so from where I saw the thing I saw.”

    Sounds like the right kind of place and time to have a sighting….very interesting. The listener said ’round golden eyes’ and I immediately think of DM. Hope the writer will tell us more.

    I grew up less than an hour NE of Hatfield. We used to camp there every year on Lake Arbutus and fished down that way quite often. Never saw anything I could recall out of the ordinary, but I can tell you one thing for certain, there is absolutely nothing along that stretch from Hatfield towards Dexterville but unpopulated wetlands. We drove countless times in the middle of the night between Warrens and Marshfield. That hour drive in there is as dark and spooky as it gets.
