If you follow along with me on this and other platforms, you know I enjoy researching and posting older news and encounters. Today’s post is from the Bigfoot Casebook, which did a good job collecting a lot of sighting reports from all over, from other researchers as well. Here is one of those encounters…
“A 30-year-old police officer, Verlin Herrington, encountered a Bigfoot at 2:35 a.m. on Sunday 26 July 1969. He was himself a deputy sheriff for Gray’s Harbor County, Washington State, and at the time was driving home on the Deekay Road in the direction of Copalis Beach. As he rounded a bend he found a large creature standing in the middle of the road which he first took for a bear.
He braked hard and then coasted towards it. As he came nearer he noticed that it did not have a bear’s snout and he could see fingers and toes on its hands and feet. From a distance of 70-80 feet he put his spotlight on it as it walked towards the edge of the road, not going down on all fours as would a bear but remaining upright. He pulled out his revolver with the intention of shooting it in the leg and returning in daylight to follow the trail. But as he cocked his pistol the creature faded into the trees at the roadside and was lost to view. Herrington estimated that he had about two minutes in which to study the creature, and he said it was 7-8 feet tall, weighed more than 300 pounds, and was covered in dark-brown hair about 3-4 inches long on the head, but shorter elsewhere. He also observed hair-covered breasts, with nipples which were black, as was its face.
Herrington did not intend to publicize his sighting, but he made the mistake of telling two incredulous colleagues when he met them in a cafe, where he was overheard, and the next day his story was the property of the news agencies…”
