An eyewitness from Tucson, Arizona describes a frightening Bigfoot encounter that happened to her and a boyfriend while driving near their home in the late 1970s.
“I actually have a story that happened in the late 70s. I was a teenager. What happened was, I was coming home in a car with my boyfriend and it was late at night, we were coming home from a party and we were on a country road that was very very deserted – all cattails and shrubs by a lake, on the backside of a lake. There were a couple of farms out there but nothing on the stretch of road we were on. And there were a lot of bends in the road so we couldn't go too fast.
We came around a sharp bend in the road and standing right there was this huge creature, about 8 feet tall, hairy. I did not know what a Bigfoot was then. I did not know what to make of it. I thought it was part human and part ape and then I thought maybe it was somebody in a costume or something. I was so frightened. I remember my boyfriend saying 'Lock the doors! Lock the doors!' We had these manual locks and I was able to quickly lock my door but I couldn't turn around. I was too scared to turn around and lock that backseat door. I was just frozen because of this creature, we were going around 45 MPH because you couldn't go too fast around these curves. This creature was right next to my window running at that speed, keeping up with the car, trying to open the door. He couldn't open the door.
Finally, that road straightened out. We were able to accelerate and were able to lose him then. When we accelerated, we just tore out of there. We were both so frightened. It was like a nightmare. Something I’ll never forget.
When we got home, I was sharing that story with my family and my sister was like, 'It's a Bigfoot! It's a Bigfoot!' I never even thought of a Bigfoot. I just thought, 'What is this thing?' It just came out of the woods and started racing after the car.
The witness was later asked if she saw the creature's face. She stated, “I was too afraid when we first approached and came in contact with the creature. When the car slowed down on the curb right next to it, when it was standing there, it was eye to eye. After that, it was just a race to get out of there and I was too scared, I couldn't even lock that back door. It was right next to the car, running a couple of feet from the car trying to get to the door handle and my boyfriend said, 'We gotta get outta here, this is horrible!' You never think you're going to see something like that in this area at night.” S
