Today The Willets News reported there was a Bigfoot sighting on Highway 101 north of Willets near Shimmins Ridge Road during the Mendocino Lightning Complex fires last summer. Willets is a small town in Northern California between the San Francisco Bay Area and Eureka.
According to reporter Linda Williams, Chris LoPinto of Laytonville and at least one other driver saw the creature step into the southbound lane near a guardrail. It ran into the path of a small truck and caused LoPinto to brake hard. The truck, which was trying to pass LoPinto’s car, managed to avoid hitting the Bigfoot and continued on without stopping.
LoPinto said the Bigfoot ran upright on its legs until it got to the middle of the highway which was four lanes at that point. Then it leaned over and ran with its arms down the rest of the way, to safety. Bigfoot investigator Tom Yamarone told the reporter that the fact the Bigfoot used its arms to cross the second half of the freeway was highly unusual.
At that point some might think the creature was a bear, but LoPinto got a good look at the face – the Bigfoot was only 25 feet away.
The description:
Estimated at seven feet tall.
It was covered with hair.
The face was completely flat, without a protruding nose.
When it turned to look at LoPinto its neck was stiff so it turned its entire body.
Its face was yellow or gold like a ripe banana.
It had a smooth, shiny forehead with ridges and no eyebrows.
The eyes glowed red, possibly as a reflection from the car’s headlights.
It had thin lips.
It had a simian face.
It appeared to be suffering from heat and heavy smoke from the fire.
LoPinto filed reports with the Department of Fish and Game and with the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department. At first he didn’t realize it was a Bigfoot. Eventually he got hold of Tom Yamarone to investigate.

Had a sighting in summer 2007 while motorcycling along the WV turnpike,thought for sure I was approaching a large bear but, when I was about 30yards away and passing by this creature sitting on the hillside, I could’nt beleive what I was seeing and to this day I want to beleive this was a black-bear but, its features was human-like just all covered in fur except for the face(no snout) I did blow the horn and wave and the creature seamed to become irritated by the facial expression it showed. The time was at sunset app.7pm
if bigfoot was real then send me some of the pictures .till then i dont believe it.
Joseph…
We got one!
The picture linda just showed just wont convince me. give me a different ,clearer picture then i’ll believe it.
Josiah, how about spending six months in a Northern California forest. Maybe you could have your own encounter and that would convince you. Probably nothing else will.
Bigfoot was spotted on Mars too. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324800,00.html This guy really gets around.
this pictuer is so detailed:)
“The face was yellow or gold like a ripe banana”.
That’s the first time I’ve ever read of a Biggies’ skin being that color.
I guess GOD isn’t real either since we don’t have any photos!

i heard bigfoot raped a women in North Carolina
Good possiblity he’s real. pics or no pics. its just 1 of those things u gotta believe without actually seeing it
Im wearing underwear. You wont see any pictures but it doesnt mean Im not wearing it.
Most sightings are by people not looking. Therefore they dont have a camera ready. A lot of the people with claims seem very credible. One of the best stories is on the Grants Pass Courier’s website. A phsychologist named Matthew Johnson was hiking by the Oregon Caves on a popular trail with his wife and kids. The story is very believeable and Matthew is very credible.
Its just upto you as a person to pick and choose which stories you believe and which you dont. One thing’s for sure though. Either every single person is a liar. Or there’s something out there. With the crdibility of alot of these people, its very hard to believe they’re all liars. That leads the the latter conclusion.
I went to Oregon Caves the week after Dr. Matthew Johnson and his family encountered the Sasquatch along Big Tree trail after they’d toured the caves. He started crying when he recounted it on video afterward, a tourist filmed it. The ranger told me the Dr. wet himself etc. when he saw the creature, he felt his family was in danger. He sponsored a few expeditions after that, and saw much evidence of their habitat etc., but no creatures.
that looks SUPER DUPER REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Big foots are real.I am native american a cree from Hudson bay.Ontario canada I was portaging a rapid i saw one.It was hiding behind a bush it stood about 9-10 feet tall.It got up and walked into heavy bush i was so scared about 200 feet away.2 years ago.
I was a non believer myself, until 1991. I was on my parents 10 acres in Casper, CA. Not to far from willets when I saw one, A Bigfoot that is. I shined my flash light right in its face as it ran down a dirt road that goes past the front of our property. I was about 25 feet away. I am a firm believer now. I Was 23 at the time, 44 now and it still gives me chills to think about it. not the scary kind ,the excited kind to think something that cool really does exist and i was fortunate enough to see it!!!
I’ve received another report of a sighting in the Willets area… so cool you are a witness!
i saw this very same creature back in 95″ when we was coming back from work,i work 45 mins away from my wrk last sighting was on right before u passed san ardo almost getting to bradley near san miguel california.
you yanks need to stay off those drugs!
I wish I could see one!
Saw one in plain sight at end of our wooded street in the cul-de-sac 4/14/2013 Only it was tall and lanky like an NBA player, very black shaggy hair and it’s head was sort of dome-shaped. The most stunning part of it was it’s flat yellow face and eyes. It was squinting looking up the hill at our approaching van. It’s eyelashes were very wide, thick and curly and although it’s hair and beard were smooth and long and black, the edges framing his face were blond. He had a center part that was perfect. He also seem unperturbed at seeing us. He ran off after we turned in our driveway out of sight. Due to sounds I have heard in the past, I expected some day to see an ape-like variety but this one is definitely a different type altogether, but I’ve since researched this type and others have seen same thing. SO exciting!
