Description of Incident
Norman Auger reports sometime in September 2012 that he had a brief encounter with what appeared to be a bigfoot type creature, crossing Rhode Island Rt 116 (East Rd.) from West to East near the intersection of Rt. 116, Old Scituate Avenue, and the Old Pipeline Rd in Scituate, RI. Norman, at around 11 p.m., was driving to work toward the Hope Jackson Fire Company on 117 Main St. located in Hope Rhode Island. While traveling on Rt 116 South, heading toward Rhode Island Rt 12 during the evening, his headlights just caught what appeared to be a large hairy figure leaping across the entire roadway from his left to the right (West to East) in front of him in just 3 bounds/steps. Norman estimated the individual was around 7 feet tall, dark and hairy. Norman proceeded to the Scituate Police Department to explain his encounter with the dispatcher. Norman was told by the dispatcher that he saw “Lil Rhodey” and that many similar reports had come in the past. Norman says he was relieved that he was not the only person to have witnessed this bigfoot like creature. Norman went on without personal further investigation.

I was 14 at the time of this sighting.
My friends and I use to play in the woods behind my house constantly. I more so than anyone else spent alot of time there. I was walking down the path (very small trail) when I saw someone walking at a 90 degree angle away from me down the joining path. I assumed at the time that it was one of the older boys in the area just walking down the path. When I yelled the “person” just ignored me and kept on going. When I got to the other path I ran down to catch up but the person was gone. I chalked it up to just one of the older boys. Now after twenty seven years still recall those woods like the back of my hand, I remember the bushes that lined the paths were at least 6′ high and I saw shoulder and a head above these so that would put the “person” at least 7′ tall, didn’t cross my mind at the time. plus the coloration of the person and what I now assume was hair. Thinking back there was always TEE-PEE formations of trees bent trees and limb breaks, I never thought of those as important then but with my research here in Colorado and with others research, I believe what I saw was a Bigfoot.
