A person reported seeing a bigfoot along power lines near Centralia, Washington on February 4, 2024 to BFRO. Centralia is south of Olympia and Littlerock.
The report said: At the end of McElfresh Rd. where it turns to Dunlap Rd. there is a timber land gate. Go past gate and follow road. At each fork stay right till you get to the clearing. Follow road past yellow forest gate and top of that hill you will see large power lines running adjacent. It was running almost parallel to them.
“My friend and I and my 3-and-a-half-year-old son were riding motorcycles in private timber land just outside of Centralia, about 30 minutes from my house. We made it to a clearing. My son was sitting on the front of my bike. He started pointing across the valley to a ridgeline clearing. He was pointing at something running across the ridge top. As the crow flies we were [roughly half mile] away and a few hundred feet lower. It was very large and human shaped. There was one color, tan/brown, moving across very rugged terrain making a b-line to the tree line. We watched it for easily 30 seconds before it went out of sight. It moved so fluently with little arm movement unlike a human running. Easily was 10ft tall for us to be able to see it from so far away.”
The witness said he was with his 18-year-old neighbor and his three-year-old son. It was just after noon on a clear blue sky day.
In a follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Scott Taylor, Taylor said: “The witness is 31 years old. His neighbor friend, who is 18 years old, was riding with him. They decided that it would be a fun thing to take a trail ride on their motorcycles on the private forest land near where they live. …They went around the gate and took the forest roads for a couple of miles. At one point they came out on top of a ridge in the middle of a clear-cut. They took a break. It was a clear, crisp, dry day with great visibility.
“As they were riding the 3 ½ year old in the front of the bike pointed north towards a power line right of way. The two adults then turned to look.
“A little more than a half mile away was a bipedal figure walking swiftly along the power lines from their left to right, heading east towards the Cascades. They watched it travel for around ½ mile angling up towards a tree line.
“The witness said that the creature had to be very tall. He estimated it was 8-10 feet tall. It was tan and brown in color. As it walked swiftly through the power line right of way, he noticed that it had a strange gait. Its long arms stayed down by its side, and it hunched forward as it walked. It also covered the ground very rapidly and effortlessly with huge strides.” (BFRO.net, 4 Feb 2024)
