FRESNO, CA. A retired COP claims he saw "Bigfoot" during a hike with his family East of Fresno County.

John, who says he was a COP for 18 years, said his father and brother were also present when the incident occurred.

"I performed various tasks from the detective in charge of the fight against drugs. It happened when I was about 8 years old, " said Wes Germer, one of the leading podcast, Sasquatch Chronicles. "My dad always took us to the mountains here, to the East in La Sierra. When we camped, we avoided the camps and people."

According to reports, John and his family were deep into the forest in search of the "good tree" that can be used as firewood when his father asked him to return to camp to begin the installation.

"He and my brother were trying to figure out how they're going to cut that tree down. When I vozvrasta to the camp, I had a feeling that something is wrong, and I began to setup camp. After I did most of this, I relaxed a bit," - explained he.

John said that this place with a line of trees on the East side.

"As I sat there relaxing, I heard something among the trees behind me. I thought it was my brother trying to scare me."

Suddenly, according to the former officer, something "caught his attention" when he "saw a small clearing" at a distance of about 50 yards. Fearing that it was a bear, he continued to watch, watching him in the distance.

"He stood up, and when he did, he was in the height of the Bush Manzanita, which closed the view on the other half. It was then that I realized that it was not a bear," said Jon Germer.

The animal then allegedly put his right hand on the tree, while lowering left hand to the knees.

"He didn't stand straight but had a very similar APE traits. I didn't know what I'm looking at".

Finally, John said that he could turn around and run back to camp.

"I tried to explain this to his father, who shrugged. He said it was probably a bear. But it resembled a gorilla, standing on two legs. It took me two or three years to return to the forest."

The witness also claimed to have seen the gorilla like creature for the second time.

Original news

FRESNO, Calif — A retired police officer claims he saw ‘Bigfoot’ when camping with his family east of Fresno County.

John, who says he has been a cop for 18 years, said his father and brother were also present when the incident occurred.

“I did various assignments, from detective, to narcotics and other specialty units. It happened when I was about 8 years old,” he told Wes Germer, co-host of the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast. “My dad always used to take us up to the mountains here, just east of us in La Sierra to get firewood. When we camped out, we avoided campgrounds and people.”

Reportedly, John and his family went deeper into the woods looking for a “good tree” to use as firewood when his father requested him to go back to the camp in order to start setting it up.

“He and my brother were trying to figure out how they were gonna cut this tree up. As I go back towards camp, I kind of got this feeling that something just wasn’t right, so I proceeded to set up the camp. After I got most of it done, I was kind of relaxing,” he explained.

The location, John said, consisted of a “30 by 30 meadow area” with a tree line on its east side.

“As I was sitting there, relaxing, I heard something up into the tree line behind me. I thought it was my brother trying to scare me. I made my way towards the treeline there. There was a lot of manzanita and pine trees.”

Suddenly, according to the former officer, something “caught his eye” as he “scanned through a small clearing” about 50 yards away. Fearing it was a bear, he kept still, watching it from the distance.

“It stood up, and when it did, it cleared the height of the manzanita bush that was blocking the view of the other half of it. That’s when I realized it wasn’t a bear that I was looking at,” John told Germer.

The animal then allegedly placed its right hand on the tree while swinging its left arm down by the knees area.

“It didn’t stand up fully straight, it had very ape-like features, I didn’t know what I was looking at.”

Finally, John says he was able to turn around and ran to the camp.

“I tried to explain it to my father, who kind of brushed it off, he said it was probably a bear. But it resembled a gorilla, standing on two legs. It took me two or three years to go back to the forest.”

The eyewitness also claimed to have seen the gorilla-like creature a second time.
