A thrilling firsthand account of a Bigfoot encounter in Shelby, North Carolina has been shared on the YouTube channel Sasquatch Theory. The witness, Richard, describes his experience from the early 1980s when he and his friends had a close encounter with a massive creature during a joyride. Richard, a Christian and an aspiring writer, had his interest in Bigfoot sparked after watching the Patterson-Gimlin film as a child. He had kept his encounter a secret for years until he decided to share it on Sasquatch Theory. The encounter took place in Cleveland County, near an old drive-in theater. Richard and his friends were on a joyride when they decided to pull over on Eagle Cove Road, a dead-end road. As they were getting back into the car, Richard's friend in the front seat started hollering, urging them to get in quickly. Richard looked up and saw a tall, dark figure standing near the car. He could only see the torso of the creature, but the back brake light illuminated its dark brown or black fur. As they drove away, another car turned onto the road, and both cars drove towards each other with their bright lights on, neither dimming their lights to signal the other. Richard believes that the other car also saw the creature. The experience left a lasting impression on Richard and his friends. He describes the creature as a very smart and intelligent animal, like the great apes and dolphins. He also mentions the creature's rancid odor, a common characteristic of Bigfoot. Richard's encounter is a fascinating account of a close encounter with a Bigfoot. His detailed description of the creature and its behavior is a reminder of the mysterious and elusive nature of Bigfoot. It's always exciting to hear new accounts of Bigfoot sightings, and Richard's story is no exception. Be sure to check out the video on Sasquatch Theory to hear the full account of Richard's encounter.
