My Bigfoot Encounter on the way to Lancaster
Posted On: February 17, 2023

4 Days ago I think I caught a sighting of a squatch hitch-hiking along Route 144 To Lancaster. Some Context for you folks: I was staying with a friend in Renovo, lets call him "James" for now.


I was only stopping by, couldn't get a lift with James to Lancaster due to his uncle having a fall and him having to deal with it. I decided to hitch hike my way to Lancaster with a guy who was going to Harrisburg, so I essentially planned to get off midway through my journey and then go onto Lancaster, either way. Whilst I was going down the Route 144, we were approaching near the Big rock I think if I remember correctly, and as we were about to follow down round into a corner, I can see what I'm pretty sure was a sasquatch. I've always had some sort of belief there is "something" out there, people can't just be seeing nothing. The only other weird experience I've had prior is dogs barking at presumeably nothing whilst on walks or in my backyard, but thats about it. As for the description of the creature I saw. The first thing I saw was the side of the creature, as it was hurdling its way down into the treeline valley. It had a sort of stone-grey / stone-brown coloured coat, with some regions being mismatched in terms of colouration, atleast from what I could make out due to the dazed amount of light under the canopy near the road. The main feature that stood out to me was its height, which immediately made it clear to me it wasnt a person or bear (Also due to it running down a slope with a decent amount of balance at a good speed).


I think it was about like 8 foot tall. But again, it was pretty difficult to make a decent assertion on how big it actually was due to the time of day. From what I could make out on its head, it had a almost raised crest, like you see on gorillas, which was a slightly different shade of brown/grey compared to the rest of its body, and it didn't exactly have a neck to say, with its "neck" more-so portruding into its stocky body, atleast from what I could tell. I could only see it for around 5-6 seconds, and we had some distance between it whilst we were driving towards it, but as soon as it went down into the forest, there was little sight of it. Due to me not seeing its face head on, its difficult to say what It looked like, but I remember it had a sort of snout to it, but not like a bear, sort of like a baboon, with shaggy hair around its head which at points seemed to obscure the front of its face, but again, it was pretty difficult to tell.


I can only describe its face like a baboon. Its snout didn't really seem to have a large amount of hair on it though. I dont know if it had anything in its hands, I think it didn't, but the last thing I remember of it was hurdling its way down into the forest below. I'm pretty sure it was a sasquatch, but Im a little weirded out. If what I saw was a squatch, then it pretty much differed from a lot of other types of squatch people see. Do these creatures uniformly fit into one type of "Bigfoot"? Do they have multiple types of subspecies? I don't know. It's just all weird.
