Woman Recalls Bigfoot Encounter While Hiking Near Ogden Canyon

A sighting from the Wasatch Mountains is getting some fresh attention, and the details are absolutely fascinating. A woman who stands just 5'3" had an encounter back in late September 2011 near the 29th Street trail head in Ogden, Utah, and the way she describes what she saw is enough to make your hair stand up. Picture this: she's hiking alone above the canyon, the sun is setting, and most other hikers have already headed down. She stops to rest, looks up, and spots something large and black standing in the scrub oak above the trails. She waves to get its attention, and then things get wild. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees movement to her left. A tall, black figure leaps out from behind some rocks, jumps onto a large boulder, then behind another rock, and peeks out from the left side. The rocks were cream colored with no scrub oak nearby, so the contrast made the figure impossible to miss. What really got me was her description of the face. She says it was a beige gray color with short black hair all around it. She initially thought she saw tan colored shoes, but later realized those were bare feet. And here's the kicker: the figure appeared to be wearing sweatpants and a jacket with the hood pulled over its head. Nobody can jump that far, she kept telling herself. Nobody. The hosts of the channel break down why this sighting is so compelling. The boulders in that area are massive, around 20 feet tall, and people actually go up there specifically to practice bouldering and rock climbing because the rocks are so challenging. One of them mentions that they hike up there with friends who practice their climbing skills, and they can't imagine any of them attempting to jump from boulder to boulder. It's just not something a human could do. They also connect this report to other sightings in the same mountain range. There's the famous footage of the Utah kids sledding down a hill where multiple figures were spotted, and one of them appeared to be injured with a noticeable limp. Then there's the North Odivide incident where a group of teens and young adults were playing with soft guns and initially thought one of their friends was hiding behind boulders, only to realize it wasn't any of them. That creature was moving from boulder to boulder, tree patch to tree patch, and creeping them all out. Same behavior, same mountain area. The Wasatch Mountains seem to be a hotbed of activity, and all these trails connect. The 29th Street trail head leads straight over to the Indian trails, and the sightings span a wide area. The woman in this report is 5'3", so for something to appear gigantic to her, it had to be massive. And the slender build she describes matches those figures seen watching the kids sled. If you want to hear the full story and the hosts' breakdown of why this report holds up, definitely check out the video. The way she describes the leaping motion and the peek-out from behind the rock is something you really have to hear for yourself. It's a reminder that these encounters are still happening, and people are still out there sharing their stories.
