Dazed Bigfoot Crossed California Highway 101 During Fires.
The
Willits News reported there was a Bigfoot sighting on Highway 101 north
of Willits near Shimmins Ridge Road during the Mendocino Lightning
Complex fires last summer. Willits is a small town in Northern
California between the San Francisco Bay Area and Eureka.
According
to reporter Linda Williams, Chris LoPinto of Laytonville and at least
one other driver saw the creature step into the southbound lane near a
guardrail. It ran into the path of a small truck and caused LoPinto to
brake hard. The truck, which was trying to pass LoPinto’s car, managed
to avoid hitting the Bigfoot and continued on without stopping.
LoPinto
said the Bigfoot ran upright on its legs until it got to the middle of
the highway which was four lanes at that point. Then it leaned over and
ran with its arms down the rest of the way, to safety. Bigfoot
investigator Tom Yamarone told the reporter that the fact the Bigfoot
used its arms to cross the second half of the freeway was highly
unusual.
At that point some might think the creature was a
bear, but LoPinto got a good look at the face – the Bigfoot was only 25
feet away.
The description:
Estimated at seven feet tall.
It was covered with hair.
The face was completely flat, without a protruding nose.
When it turned to look at LoPinto its neck was stiff so it turned its entire body.
Its face was yellow or gold like a ripe banana.
It had a smooth, shiny forehead with ridges and no eyebrows.
The eyes glowed red, possibly as a reflection from the car’s headlights.
It had thin lips.
It had a simian face.
It appeared to be suffering from heat and heavy smoke from the fire.
LoPinto
filed reports with the Department of Fish and Game and with the
Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department. At first he didn’t realize it was
a Bigfoot. Eventually he got hold of Tom Yamarone to investigate.
