Another story from someone I know who saw a Bigfoot one night while driving on a rural highway in Oregon.
Not much in way of details: it was fall, night, they (her friend) saw it cross the road. Both positive of what they saw.
Both also, as with all the stories I've personally heard from individuals, familiar with Oregon wildlife, and used to the outdoors. Camping, hunting, living in rural areas; they know what things are. And they know when something out of the ordinary looms up in front of their faces.
As always with stories like these, I have to wonder at the knee jerk reaction from debunkers and "skeptics." This woman was not lying. All the other people I've known, who have told me their stories, were not lying. They are also a diverse group of people in terms of age, profession, gender, etc. What they have in common is a familiarity of the local outdoors, and a love of the outdoors, and damn well know an elk from a bear from a coyote from a cougar. (One witness's Bigfoot sighting was such a profound experience this person continues to look for Bigfoot many years later.)

Is that really the reaction of skeptics? That all witnesses are lying? Come, come. Misidentification is the primary charge.
Skeptics tend to be poorly informed, I'm finding; there's no need to distort further their positions.
'One witness's Bigfoot sighting was such a profound experience this person continues to look for Bigfoot many years later.'
This aspect of BF encounters seems to stick out, Regan. Reminds me of some stuff I read on Sharon Eby Cornet's site (look her up...pretty amazing depth) about an acquaintance of her's named Larry Kelm.
Larry had numerous encounters, up until his death in 2011, and it all started with a particularly scary encounter in the Saddle Mountain area of Oregon in the 70s. I'll let you look up Mr. Kelm's story, but in brief, he was nearly a victim of a sort of interdimensional trap. Needless to say, Larry could not just let that sort of trauma go and he had a number of other interesting encounters.
