The witness was riding in her mother's car while passing through on Rt. 56 in Laurel Ridge State Park, PA when she observed a Bigfoot among the trees. The location is in Cambria County.
The following account was forwarded to me:
"The date was September 21, 2022, at around noon. We were driving back from an appointment that afternoon and I always look at hillsides and power line clearings for any kind of animal and I have done so since I was a child. We were coming through the Laurel Ridge State Park area on Rt. 56 in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. (Near the Laurel Highland Hiking Trail around the trailhead).
I just happened to look to the left on the embankment because something told me to look in that direction and I saw a dark brownish figure standing in between two trees with its back facing the road, and it had to have been at least 6-6.5 feet tall from what I can estimate. It had one arm leaning up against the tree to the right of it and it was hunching down to pick something up. There was a defined head on it like an ape, round towards the base and slowly went up to a dull point at the top.
I instantly shouted, "Stop! We have to turn around." My mother had no clue what was going on and I told her that I swore I just saw a Bigfoot back there in between two trees up on the hill. So we turned to sound further up the road and went back to see if I was seeing what I thought I was or if it was an actual person, however by the time I got back to the spot, it was gone. I’m so mad I didn’t have a camera rolling and it happened so quickly I didn’t have time to even grab my phone to take a photo. After I processed what I had seen I started feeling excited, but almost terrified at the same time if that makes sense."
NOTE: An original report was made to the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project by the witness. The witness contacted me recently. I'm going to assign a team investigator to check out the area. There have been multiple sightings in the area over the years, including cryptid canines, big cats, and UFOs. Lon
