Witness Reported Seeing a Bigfoot-Like Creature Cross the Road

An eyewitness is telling the story of seeing something cross I-80 in early October.

The report comes from BFRO.net, a website run by the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. The site regularly prints witness encounters with what's believed to be Bigfoot.

In his report, the witness says he saw the creature - walking upright on two legs - cross the road in front of the car traveling in front of him. Even while crossing on the other side of the car, the witness said he could see the creature's head above the car.

Here's how he describes the possible Bigfoot:

"It was completely dark, all the same color. From head to toe there wasn't anything that stood out as different in appearance. It had a more slender/slim build, and I want to say I think long arms that were not held upwards as it moved. It was the way it moved across the road that shook me. Nothing quick or jerky like a sprinter. It was fast, but almost a glide or sliding motion to it."

The witness claimed it took only tow or three seconds for the creature to cross the road and disappear over a guardrail.

"I just want to add I know what I saw, But don't know WHAT I saw. I'm a avid hunter with over 50 years in the woods. This was not a bear."
