    I saw “Bigfoot” once about 20 years ago when I lived in the southern interior of British Columbia. My friend and I were walking along a dirt road that ran through a large field near the edge of a forest, roughly around the size of a football field. The area was mostly level with little foliage, and he was probably 50 feet away from us so we got a pretty good look at him - at least 7 feet tall, covered in dark fur. He was almost exactly like I had seen in illustrations.

    He was walking perpendicular to us through the field and seemed to slow down, while we came to a stop as all three noticed each other at the same time. He probably only watched us for a few seconds, then snapped into a run and disappeared into the forest almost instantly. The speed that he moved at was insane, and on top of that as soon as he crossed the treeline, there was no sound of rustling branches or anything you would expect from a human running through the forest, he was completely silent.

    My friend and I wordlessly watched the spot where he disappeared for maybe half a minute before turning to each other and bursting out, “what the fuck was that!?”. We were more than a little stunned, “did we really just see fucking Bigfoot?”.

    We told a few of our friends, and some had similar experiences or had friends or relatives share stories with them. The area is known for a high amount of sightings, and a few people we told were completely unphased, as if it was totally normal.

    I definitely kept more of an eye out after our encounter, but unfortunately I never saw him again.

        1. I know enough about bears that while one could stand on it’s hind legs, they aren’t bipedal and could not possibly run like that, much less with the speed the creature I saw moved.
        2. We saw this thing clearly, it was exactly like what has classically been described as “bigfoot”. Tall, large, furry, like a humanoid ape. I saw it’s face.
