Eight Spalding area residents say they saw a large hairy creature Thursday
evening that could have been a Bigfoot.
The unidentified creature
was spotted descending a hillside southwest of the Nez Perce National
Historical Park's visitor center at Spalding.
"I looked up and it
was just too big and dark to be a man," Becky Johnson said Friday.
"It was 6 or 7 o'clock. It was still daylight."Johnson tried to photograph
the creature as it walked across a plowed field almost half mile away.
But she said her camera was not equipped with a telephoto lens and the
small negative recorded just at tiny black speck
Frank Walker, the
park superintendent said a park employee also reported seeing a large
dark creature walking down the hillside Thursday.
Tony Arthur saw the
creature much closer up. He and two other family members spotted the suspected
Sasquatch on the hillside from the home of Moffett and Rachel Johnson.
Several family members
said the animal was walking on two legs swinging its arms.
Arthur said he and
two others drove down a nearby road to get closer.
They spotted the creature
crouched behind some bushes at the edge of the field. "I would say
we were about 100 to 120 yards away. It was mostly behind the bush and
it kind of crouched down," Arthur said.
He said others were
watching the creature too, including one man who had binoculars and said
what he saw was a man, "but he wouldn't let us look through the binoculars.
