Bigfoot sightings have been reported in Pennsylvania for many years, and the BFRO database is a valuable resource for those interested in learning more about these encounters. In a video from the YouTube channel Odd & Untold, host Jim Osborne shares a fascinating Class A sighting from Burks County, located on the Appalachian Trail in State Game Land 110.
The witness, a grouse hunter, was on the mountain in early February 1991, when they noticed a dark figure running along the ridge of the mountain. The creature moved effortlessly through the snow and ice, eventually stopping just 40-50 feet away from the witness. The witness described the creature as being around 7-7.5 feet tall, with long hair covering its face, making it difficult to determine its features. The creature appeared to be very powerful and intelligent, possibly drawn to the area by the sound of gunshots or yelling.
Jim Osborne, a BFRO investigator, spoke with the witness, who emphasized the creature's incredible display of power as it moved through the difficult terrain. The witness also mentioned that the creature's face resembled a mask, making it impossible to determine whether its features were more human or apelike.
This sighting is particularly intriguing, as it is not easily dismissed as a misidentification. Bears would typically be hibernating during this time of year, and their size and movement patterns do not align with the witness's description. While some skeptics may argue that the witness could have been mistaken, the clarity of the sighting and the witness's credibility make this a compelling case.
