I was 19 years old and living in La Puente, California. I was attending Mt.
San Antonio College in Pomona. My boyfriend Chuck and I had found a lovely
spot behind my sister's home at 16636 Pocono. Up in the hills. We used to go
there and "park" as young lovers used to call it. It was never found by
anyone else that we knew of since, we had to open a gate and drive up
there... It was our little secret place... The area was barren open fields
where cattle had been grazed at one time.
There was a large knoll, which is where we always parked the car. (on top
of). It offered a spectacular view of the surrounding area and was
absolutely beautiful. On this particular nite the moon was just full and
beautiful... I looked over Chuck's shoulder and I saw this creature climb up
over the edge of the knoll. I was frozen with fear. Chuck didn't even know
that I had seen — I couldn't speak. The creature was covered in hair and it
walked upright. I'd say it was about 8 feet tall. I couldn't see its face
because the moon was very bright and behind it. I just saw the very clear
outline of this creature walking towards the car we were sitting in... (in
all the pictures I've seen of bigfoot since that was exactly what I saw)
It seemed to be "curious" and not attacking or anything like that... I
finally caught my breath and let out a scream.
The creature stopped suddenly and looked startled, but still curious... I
continued to scream... Chuck by this time had seen the creature and was
fumbling and trying to start the car... which he finally did, all that time
the creature just stood about 15 feet away just looking at us, apparently
puzzled at our screaming and leaving. It didn't appear frightened, only
very curious as we left.
Chuck and I both agreed that we would never tell anyone what we had seen
since they would think we were crazy or something and wouldn't believe us
anyway, also he didn't want the property owner to know about us being up
there in his hills. This incident really happened. I really saw him he was
real. I hadn't even EVER heard of Bigfoot at the time this incident had
happened I wonder if anyone else had ever seen anything like this in that
area during that time span.
It was about the fall/winter/ or spring of 1961-62. That's as close as I
can remember. Since that's when I was dating Chuck. He by the way has gone
on to become a multi millionaire importer/exporter and I on the other hand
have been a flight attendant for a major airline for 37 years. Let me know
if you have had any experiences like this one.
