OBSERVED: While living in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains I observed a Bigfoot on my property late one evening in 2016. My husband and I had been observing a meteor shower and once we were ready to go in. I shined my flashlight into the woods just beyond our garden area at our home and that's when looking back at me I saw eye shine. Having lived in the woods for some time by then I'd see another eye shine but this was nothing I'd ever seen before. They were huge wide set pair of eyes and whatever it was was intelligent enough to know that I could see it and put its head behind our fence post to hide.

We observed it for probably a minute after that just hiding behind the fence post and peeking out and at the time my husband was armed with a shotgun but he was like in a trance and wasn't able to take a shot at it. Then in front of our eyes suddenly it was almost as if the thing had folded itself up and rolled out of the area down into a goalie and then we heard branches breaking as it bipedally walked away into the woods.

ALSO NOTICED: We had heard whistles tree knocks and bipedial figures walking throughout our forest multiple times previously. My husband also had a Bigfoot encounter during the day when he had traveled down a logging road and ran out of gas on his quad.

OTHER WITNESSES: My ex-husband was with me and saw it.

OTHER STORIES: Multiple incidents have occurred with my neighbors and some sightings and some just hearing things that they knew had to be Bigfoot related.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: Approximately 2am, very low light and moonless night.

ENVIRONMENT: Heavily wooded with pine cedar madrone and high water table with a huge lake creeks and rivers all throughout the area.
