- Hayfork, Calif. (AP) -- A 9 foot-tall
yellow-eyed beast making bloodcurdling screams turned a group of campers
as shaky as the marshmallows they were roasting. They decided the creature
must have been the legendary Bigfoot.
-
- Tim Ford, 22, told California Department
of Fish and Game officials Thursday that he is convinced he saw the elusive
man-beast, who he claims left tracks 6 inches wide and 20 inches long in
the remote Hayfork, about 200 miles north of San Francisco.
-
- "You could see his arms hanging
way past his knees,: Harmon told the Redding Record Searchlight. "It
was scary."
-
- The Redding man said he was on a camping
and hunting trip near Mud Springs, south of Hayfork, last Saturday when
his friend, 28-year-old James Harmon of Reno, Nev., heard a loud rustling
in the bushes as they roasted marshmallows.
-
- When he got his flashlight ot investigate
the noise, Ford said he spotted an enormous, furry creature standing about
50 yards away on the other side of a creek.
-
- Ford and Harmon, who were travelilng
with five others, said none of them had been drinking or taking drugs.
They're convinced the creature was not a bear.
-
- They said the creature stayed a distance
from the campsite most of the night, but was near enough that they could
hear it's screams. Eerie screams are often reported along with sightings
of Bigfoot.
