Hairy Encounter

July 12, 1969 - Bigfoot was sighted on this day in Oroville, California.

The creature wandered out of the woods behind the home of Charles Jackson. Charles and his son Kevin were in their backyard when they spotted the beast which they say stood seven to eight feet tall. It was covered with grey hair and it had breasts.

The mysterious creature only lingered for a moment before darting back into the woods. More sightings around Oroville would follow and by the end of the summer of 1969, this gold rush town firmly staked its claim as Sasquatch central.
