Drawing by Linda Newton-PerryToday, Nov. 24, I received this email. I am happy to write about sightings, grateful even, to have them come to me. It is the only way I get information; I do not beat the brush for Bigfoot/Sasquatch. I rely on readers to give me this information for my newspaper column and this blog. I count on the stories being truthful, but given the "nature" of the Bigfoot world please remember that there will be those that make things up. I am not saying that any of these sightings are made up. I simply have no way of knowing. So enjoy them. And keep your camera ready when traveling through Bigfoot country.

Linda, I'll tell the story to you being the man does not want to give his name. Let's call him GE. GE is a contractor for the Forest Service in Coos and Curry counties. On April 9, 2009, he was working on a culvert repair job on Elk River headwaters up on Butler Mountain. Late in the afternoon, around 5 pm, he quit for the day. He got in his pickup to return to his camp trailer on Laird Lake, some 20 miles from the job site. He had only traveled about 1 mile and his pickup broke down with a broken axle.
He tried to get out on his cell phone but couldn't get a signal. He knew the Forest Service man was coming up to the job the next day, so he decided to spend the night in his truck. Well, he said about 1:30 am he woke up because his pickup was shaking. After a few seconds, he woke enough to sit up in his back seat and look to see what was going on.
When he sat up, he saw a dark figure outside of the passenger door. At first he thought somebody had found him and was there to help. Then he noticed no lights in front of him. He watched the figure walk around his truck and give it another shake. By this time he was scared as hell!
He noticed the figure was massive in size and way too tall for a human. He remained very still hoping whatever it was would leave. He said the smell was just terrible, like a dead body. After about 45 minutes or so another figure came down off the bank and just stood about 10 feet from the truck. It was then when one of them let out a hair raising scream that could not come from anthing he'd ever heard. This time he was really scared, as he didn't know what kind of things these two were. He said several times before daybreak one of them would walk around the truck and try to look in. He said they were covered in fur or hair, about 8ft tall and 500 lbs or better. The face on the one that looked through the window was man-ape like, dark in color, black or dark brown hair.
Finally at first light they left and he could see big big footprints all around the truck. GE did not get out of the truck till the Forest Service guy arrived at 8 am.
He told the guy what had happened and the man said on several different occasions he had felt he was being watched by someone. Well GE never said another word about that night till he retired. He said he was sure the Forest Service would ban him from bidding on anymore contracts.
