Evening Hike – Bigfoot Sighting Investigation

This began as an evening hike near Felton, California on July 16, 2012.
Here’s the story…

I returned to Felton and my friend Ray went along (Ray is from American Samoa, 65 years old, Army Veteran). We stopped at the Bigfoot Museum for a short while. There were 3 groups of customers, so we didn’t stay long. We next drove down to where my last few videos have been made. On April 25, 2012 about 8:30pm, 2 bigfoot (an adult and a juvenile) were seen standing beside a tree along a road in this area.

We began by walking towards the pond, but I decided to return to the car to get my small binoculars so we could better see the turtles in the middle of the pond. I told Ray to go to the pond edge and look for footprints in the mud. I assumed he would just stay in the open area, but instead Ray followed the edge around to the right into the brush. About 25 foot in, Ray got tired and sat down on a tree branch (he was facing the pond). Two women and a kid who I had just talked to at the car had just arrived at the pond, so Ray thought he’d be a smart ass and do a weird whistle sound to scare them. Then behind Ray something made a low grunt / growl sound. Ray turned to his left to look behind him and saw a dark hairy animal about 25 foot further into the brush along the edge of the pond. It was sitting on it’s butt with a small tree branch (like a sapling) in it’s hand, like it had been eating the leaves until interrupted by Ray sitting down. Ray got scared, picked up a small stick and threw it like a spear towards the still sitting thing. It then stood up and walked away from Ray further into the brush on two legs. It was dark in color, about 7 foot, big upper body, long arms, covered in hair, no clothing.

The women were just leaving the pond when I arrived. I told them they might see my friend up ahead on the trail. They said no, they heard him to our right in the bushes. I’m thinking no, that couldn’t be Ray, he had shorts and sandals on. He’d never go into the bushes like that. Well, guess what, he did.

I looked around a little at the spot in the bushes while Ray described what had happened, then we exited and I phoned the Bigfoot Museum, that was at 4:30pm. When I had returned to the car was about 4:10pm, so the whole thing happened within about 20 minutes.

They closed the museum half an hour early at 5:30pm and the 4 of us spent the next 2+ hours walking thru the bushes by the pond investigating. We found a posibble footprint, trails thru the grass, areas where something large had laid down and Mike Rugg found some odd looking poop.

While we were waiting for Mike and Ralph to arrive, I video interviewed Ray and asked a lot of questions while this was fresh in his mind. He says he saw it like described above. This was the first time for Ray to be in the mountains and he says he had never seen the Finding Bigfoot TV show. I believe him. What a day.
