On May 29, 2012, I saw something running through the Pike National Forest. A neighbor and I went for a hike. At approximately 7:45 p.m., we heard a very loud noise that sounded like a branch breaking.
I heard a little bit of rustling, as in leaves, with the branch breaking, but very, very brief.
It was still daylight so we could see well. We looked in the direction of the noise and saw something running. At first it was partly covered by trees & bushes. It was large and dark. It was approximately 200 feet from where we were. It ran parallel to where we were standing, through the forest and down a slight hill. I could see it running for approximately 5 – 7 seconds.
Some of the time we could see it clearly, part of the time it was partially covered as it went by trees. It was dark grey, almost black. It had hair and very long legs. As it ran it had kind of a ‘leaning forward’ posture. It was very fast, very long stride, and I could hear no noise as it ran. It was very dry and lots of dry pine needles & foliage but there was no noise. It ran out of sight and was gone. My mind tried to process what I was seeing and ran through the possibilities of animals. But bigfoot kept coming to mind.
My neighbor and I were both silent. I did say at one point, ‘is that a deer?’ even though I knew that it wasn’t. When it was gone, finally I said, “It looked like a bigfoot.” My neighbor said, “That’s what I was going to say but I thought you’d think I was crazy.” We then both discussed what we were having trouble believing – that we saw a bigfoot. We both reported the same impressions about physical description, imitated the posture, gait, etc. I know what I saw, and it was not human or any common animal.

People out there that have sightings, don’t be afraid to say what you saw to your friend or whoever, you will be glad you got it of your chest, if they want to call you crazy, so what, the world is crazy. You would be among many. The more people come out in the open about these creatures, the less our shadow government can hide it. We have to make it common knowledge that they exit. Thanks.
