I had always thought Big Foot was an urban legend until this really happened to me. I was in the middle of nowhere on my mountain bike when I saw deer running fast across the old logging road I was on. Squirrel season was in so I just thought a hunter probably scared them. But as I got closer I heard what sounded like trees falling over. What I saw running across the road after the deer looked almost exactly like this:
I got the heck out of there as fast as I could.
You should have taken the time to record some really low quality, blurry video footage first. The fact that you had a normal, human reaction makes me doubt your story

Its true. When I saw it the ONLY thing I thought of was getting out of there as quick as possible.You should have taken the time to record some really low quality, blurry video footage first. The fact that you had a normal, human reaction makes me doubt your story

Thanks Hunter.
Just checked up on that book mentioned in the article....
Bigfoot! Huge, hairy, foul smelling, this legendary apelike animal continues to captivate the public s imagination. This fascination hinges on a single piece of motion-picture film shot in northern California in 1967. For thirty-five years, Bigfoot believers have been convinced that this sixty-second piece of film proves the physical reality of Bigfoot.
But now comes a book that demolishes that belief, that produces final proof that the film footage is a hoax.
"The Making of Bigfoot" tells the amazing story of Roger Patterson of Yakima, Washington. A part-time rodeo rider, chronically unemployed and dying of cancer, Patterson propelled himself into short-lived fame and fortune by exploiting his obsession with the Bigfoot subject and leveraging his expertise in manipulating and conning people to pull off one of the world s great hoaxes.
Living within two hours of Patterson s hometown, for three years paranormal investigator and author Greg Long interviewed more than forty witnesses in Yakima who knew Patterson intimately. The voices of these witnesses, combined with facts unearthed from newspaper archives, books, and court documents, tell the real story of Roger Patterson.
Both tragic and comical, a unique slice of Americana, "The Making of Bigfoot "captures the testimony of a colorful cast of characters who bring to life a man and a time in the 1960s when Bigfoot strode into the American imagination, and the world embraced a myth."

My only regret is I did not get a picture. But even if I had my cellphone I was so scared and it happened so fast I doubt I could have got a picture.
