Incident #1000452
Bieber, Lassen Cty, California
1951
Account
Mrs. Darlene Rea, then in high school, driving with her mother and another woman from MacArthur, Calif., to Bieber, at night when a "man" crossed the road in front of them in two steps. Letter was prompted by Sanderson article in True about Bigfoot. She and her husband came to Bob Titmus' taxidermy shop in February 1970. She said it was a huge shadowy form, in the headlights for just an instant. It looked like an oversize human with no clothes or very tight clothes.
