Amber Webster, her husband, and his cousin were aiding a search and rescue mission for Janelle Banda, a hiker lost in Yavapai County’s rugged terrain.
Armed with a powerful spotlight, they scanned the forest 8.5 miles north of Sedona. Around 75 yards away, their beam caught a massive figure. “He was probably 7 foot tall, at least 400 pounds, with wide shoulders,” Amber recounted. “Matted white and brown hair framed a flat, leathery face, and his eyes glowed golden.” The creature stared back, motionless, for one to two minutes before the group fled in fear.
Earlier that day, Amber heard two loud tree knocks while calling Janelle’s name, jokingly remarking, “Oh hey, it’s Bigfoot!” Her husband, a seasoned hunter skeptical of Sasquatch, was shaken. “He knows wildlife,” Amber said. “This was no animal he’d ever seen.”
