π Description
This happened in Jefferson County, OHIO on May 14th 2025 at 10:40AM. I haul oil from the well pads to Steubenville, Ohio. I have been running this route 2 times a day Monday-Friday, for the past 10 months. I know this route. There is a 84 Lumber [lumber yard business] below the highway. There are railroad tracks behind the 84 Lumber store. I was north bound on 7 crossing the bridge. I looked out the drivers window with an elevated view. Standing in the middle of the tracks was a very large bigfoot with brown hair from head to toe, with black hair or muddy hair on its chest. The bigfoot was looking up the hill. I called out on the CB radio to get someone else to look and confirm what I just saw. I was driving 55, so 1.5 seconds is not a lot of time.The two things that stood out was its totally brown hair except the dark black on its chest. The other is the size of its shoulder cap on its arm. It was the size of a basketball. After getting my second load from the well pad I arrived at Tidewater in Steubenville to unload in the rail cars. I was able to stand in the rail road tracks next to the oil railcars. They are very large and I was able to put my hand 8 feet up in the air next to the railcars. This bigfoot was taller. I'm 6'6 and I must put this bigfoot no smaller than 9 feet tall.At first I was thinking it was a dude in a suit or hunting outfit. But no, it couldn't be. Everything is green and it was turkey season. You don't wear all brown and a long hair suit to hunt turkeys. What I saw that day is still in my mind.
π Circumstances
Just me, I tried to use my CB to get someone else to look down.
