The incident, which occurred on July 28th, began while she was passing through Hinsdale County with her husband in the car and she had been looking out of the window hoping to spot wildlife.

As she looked out, a large creature stepped out of the woods at the side of the road.

"I watched as he turned to the right and started to walk uphill along the edge of the woods," she recalled. "Its gait was a glide. The color was a dark blackish brown."

"The head was kind of moulded into the shoulders. The arms were long and very hairy. I would bet it stood seven-nine foot tall based on the size of the small spruce trees."She was so surprised by what she was seeing that she could hardly get her words out.

While her husband didn't see the creature at the time, when they went back to the place where it had emerged from the trees, they discovered a strange footprint on the ground.

"We have never even thought about Bigfoot type creatures really existing and were skeptical about sightings," he said. "I have no doubt that Lori saw what she saw."

"I have never seen her react like she did."

To date, no definitive explanation for the encounter has ever been found.
