In northern California, where the silence of the forest is broken only by the singing of birds and the rustle of trees, something incredible has happened. A family going on a picnic in nature met something that still remains a mystery to scientists and other researchers. This is reported by Daily Star.

The story told by Mark has become one of the most exciting stories about meeting this mythical creature. In August 2022, Mark, his wife and their young daughter went into the woods after shopping at the local farmers market. They were going to enjoy nature and spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

However, when Mark's daughter ran to play among the trees, a loud scream attracted the parents' attention, and they rushed to their daughter.

There, sitting on a log, a little girl was in the company of a tall, hairy creature. Mark describes the creature as bipedal, covered with brown fur, and despite its impressive height, it seemed quite peaceful and even playful.

"It's almost as if the couple were playing imitators, both taking turns tilting their heads and scratching their cheeks," Mark recalls, describing the strange sight that appeared before his eyes. "[It made] a low rumbling grunt, like it was laughing."

The shocking meeting ended as abruptly as it had begun. When the girl noticed her parents nearby, she ran up to them, and the snowman, looking at them, disappeared into the forest thicket.

Despite the family's testimony, many were skeptical of their story. However, for Mark and his family, it was an unforgettable moment that they will never forget.

Original news

A dad has revealed he found his young daughter "playing with Bigfoot happily" as his family had a picnic in their favourite forest.

Mark, who chose to share his story anonymously, lives with his wife Jenny and daughter Lily in a quiet mountain town in northern California and on August 2, 2022, decided they'd all head for a picnic.

Mark said the day started off as normal as they visited the farmers' market earlier in the day to get ingredients for their picnic lunch, before loading the wicker basket and heading for the forest.

After about 15 minutes they were about to start lunch when Jenny heard a "blood-curdling scream" from the forest. The parents rushed to Lily to see if everything was okay when they saw their daughter sitting happily by a tree log. "She seemed completely relaxed and content but next to her was an enormous hairy creature that was easily seven or eight feet tall even while crouching," Mark recounted.

The parents' hearts dropped at the sight of the alleged beast which had a "stocky build and covered in brown hair" and through the "long tangled hair covering its face, two dark intelligent eyes peered out". Mark was gripped by the urge to run to Lily, but the "rational part of his brain stopped him" and warned any sudden movement could "provoke the unpredictable creature".

Jenny was filled with fear also and cried out for Lily, who is said to have just sat there without alarm. "She was sitting happily while mimicking the slow, smooth motions the creature made with its long arms," Mark said. "It's almost like the pair were playing a game of copycat, both tilting their heads and scratching their cheeks in turn."

Mark stared in astonishment as he tried to comprehend the surreal situation as the alleged creature made "low rumbling grunts as if laughing while it copied Lily's clapping and foot stomping".

"When Lily finally registered her mum's panicked cries she promptly stood up, gave a friendly wave goodbye to her new playmate and came skipping casually back over to the picnic blanket," the story went on, adding the animal fixed its gaze on Mark and Jenny before breaking eye contact and retreating back into the thick forest.

On the way home Lily is said to have spoken about her new friend and her parents "pressed her" for more details on the encounter. Lily said she had been picking up pinecones when she heard a snuffling noise behind her, turning to find what looked like a "great big puppy" watching her from the bushes.

Lily said she could tell right away the animal was "nice", describing how they began copying each other in a game. She said she wished she could have stroked the said beast's hair before her parents called her back.
