Drivers see plenty of strange things on the interstate. A lost shoe, roadkill, blown tires. But one Pennsylvania man swears what he saw on I-80 wasn’t just road debris. It had two legs, a stride like an athlete, and, according to him, stood taller than a Subaru Crosstrek. He and others think it might go by the name “Bigfoot.”

The man, identified only as B.G. in the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization report, was driving his Dodge Ram westbound near mile marker 169 in Centre County on October 4, 2025. 

It was around 5:30 p.m., the weather clear and warm, traffic light

His wife rode in the passenger seat, admiring farmland north of the highway, when he suddenly shouted, “What the hell was that?”

Ahead of them, a dark figure had appeared in the right shoulder lane.

B.G. was following another car (what he described as a Subaru) roughly 165 yards ahead.

The figure began moving left across the highway. He said it wasn’t running, exactly, but gliding. 

Within three seconds, “Bigfoot” crossed all four lanes and stepped effortlessly over the guardrail into the wooded median.

The driver couldn’t believe the Subaru hadn’t struck it

He followed the car to the next exit to ask if they’d seen it too, but the Subaru pulled away at the light.

Later, he drove back 110 miles to the scene, camera and rangefinder in hand, hoping to make sense of it.

He confirmed his distance from the Subaru and noted the land on both sides: flat fields giving way to dense forest leading toward Bald Eagle State Park.

B.G., a retired civil engineer, Air Force veteran, and lifelong hunter, told investigators this wasn’t a bear.

He described the Bigfoot-like creature as tall, thin, and uniformly dark

Its head was visible above the Subaru roofline. Its limbs seemed too long for a person, its motion too fluid for an animal. No fur details, no face, no hesitation over the rail.

The BFRO investigator who followed up called B.G. credible and concluded the figure could plausibly have stood between six-foot-two and seven-foot-three.

The group has logged several other reports in that same region near Milesburg and Bald Eagle State Park.

B.G. said he’d never believed in Bigfoot before. Now, he’s not so sure.
