In August of 1991, Glenn Adkins was standing on a road in Ohio's Salt Fork State Park when a Bigfoot walked into his flashlight beam, stopped fifteen yards away, and let him look. He remembers the sound of its breath and the thought that it was so large it might suck all the oxygen out of the air. He did not take a picture. He did not run. He just stood there, and after a long moment, the creature turned and walked up a hill that should have been too steep to climb.
