Truck Driver Believes He Twice Encountered BIGFOOT in North Central Pennsylvania

Back in the early 1970s, during the oil embargo, a truck driver had two separate experiences in which he believed that he encountered a Bigfoot in rural Pennsylvania.

I received the following account:

"Hello. My dad drove a truck during the 1970s oil embargo. One night he broke down in rural Pennsylvania, several miles north of Williamsport. He had to walk down the highway a couple miles back to a restaurant to use the phone and call dispatch.

After the phone call, he walked back to the truck. There was no moon, and because of the oil embargo, the highway was deserted.

From the treeline on the side of the highway came the crack of an enormous tree branch breaking, and then some movement. My dad stopped and called out. He thought it might be someone fooling around or a hunter in the woods, odd as that would be at that time of night.

No answer came from the trees, and my dad continued toward his busted rig. But all the way to the truck he was sure he heard something following him from the trees, matching his own footsteps. He locked himself in the truck and waited, uneventfully, until help arrived.

Another night, again in 1970s North Central Pennsylvania, in the mountains, a strange figure ran in front of my dad's truck. It looked to my dad, who had not heard of Bigfoot yet, that it was a man in a gorilla costume.

When he arrived at his destination he told some of the men working there what he had seen, and asked if any of them had seen a guy in a gorilla costume running around in the mountain roads.

They thought my dad was nuts.

Those are my dad's two experiences with what he believes was Bigfoot." E
