Selma [Oregan] - Grants Pass psychologist Matthew Johnson insists he's not crazy.
Oregan Bigfoot Spies on Family
[Original headline: Man claims Bigfoot sighting]
Even when he tells people that he heard, smelled and saw the Pacific Northwest's mythical Bigfoot while hiking Saturday [July 1] with his family at the Oregon Caves National Monument.
"It was very tall, it was very hairy," Johnson said.
He said he was squatting in the woods near one of the monument's backwoods trails when he spotted the creature standing upright about 60 feet away, hiding behind a tree and spying on his wife and three children.
Shortly before the sighting, his family had just detected a pungent, musky scent on the trail and heard some deep, guttural groans in the woods nearby.
Rangers checked the area Sunday and found nothing unusual, officials said.
