One of the original 1958 Bluff Creek reports, and one of the first sightings. Ray Kerr and Leslie Breazeale were about 1 1/2 miles below Louse Camp, driving back to camp on Sunday evening, when an erect, hair-covered, apelike creature, estimated 8 to 10 feet tall, bounded across the road in front of their pickup truck, swinging long, hairy arms. They got out and inspected tracks in the dirt with a flashlight. Tracks are not described, but by that date the 16-inch Bigfoot track was well known. On the other hand, descriptions of the creature making the tracks were all but unknown at that time. Bob Titmus knew a man who went to the site and saw the tracks.
