Describe Your Sighting:
In southern Indiana, Unionville October 1990 or 89. My sister and I were on our way home late at night (approx. 2:00 a.m.) when a bigfoot walked in front of my sister’s Honda touching the front of the vehicle. It was very hairy and had long arms. It walked upright, but this creature had a sideways gait as though limping or injured. It looked straight at us and walked slowly. It did not appear to be afraid. It was approximately 5 foot four I’d say. It closely resembled an orangutan.
Classification:
Class A — Visual Sighting
Additional Details / Notes:
TIME AND CONDITIONS: It was dark , but the creature was within feet of us. It was cool out, but I don’t recall rain. ——————————————————————————– Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Jim Osborne: I spoke on the phone with the primary witness and then later to her sister. Although in the report the witness stated that it looked like an orangutan, when I directed her to a website with pictures of orangs she stated that it didn’t really look like that. Her sister stated that she was in such a state of shock when it occurred that she really didn’t get a good look at the face. Her estimate of its height was 4 1/2 to 5 feet tall. The witness said the hair was orangish-brown, while her sister called it orangish-red. (This area is very near the central Indiana Hoosier National Forest.)
