Wilkes County Man Refuses to take Bigfoot Encounter to his Grave

“I seen it’s eyes first. Then I seen it’s oval shaped head. Then I seen the hair hanging off of him about 4 or 5 inches. I seen his left arm bowed out beside of him. I could see every finger and thumb,” said Lunsford. “I never did see it no more and I never did go back looking for it.”Rick Lunsford

In an article at the Winston-Salem Journal, Rick Lunsford continues to express his motivations for trying to find Bigfoot again. Below is an excerpt:
Rick Lunsford didn’t want to take his vision of Bigfoot to the grave without sharing it, and that’s why he arranged an outing in Wilkes County Saturday to try to find the big guy.
“I had a serious gallbladder infection a year ago, and the doctor gave me three to five days to live,” said Lunsford, 52. He had an operation and recuperated, but the near-death experience convinced him that he had to come out with it — that he had seen Bigfoot in rural Wilkes County when he was 20.
“I’ve got five grandyoung’uns, and I wanted them to know about Bigfoot before I go. The missing link is out here in these hills,” Lunsford said Saturday afternoon, surrounded by about 30 other Bigfoot adventurers who came out on a gray, rainy day to seek the creature.Winston-Salem Journal
