An Illinois truck driver says that he was left unsettled after a recent incident wherein he drove past a sizeable hair-covered bipedal creature that some believe to have been Bigfoot. According to a local media report, the suspected Sasquatch sighting occurred on the morning of October 5th as Gary Rutherford Jr. was cruising down the highway in Peoria County. A driver for a truck company contracted by the U.S. Postal Service, his normally routine route took a wondrous turn when he noticed something unusual ahead of him on the side of the road. "I didn't process this thing until I was right up on it," he recalled, "I did a double-take. It was standing, two legs, brown fur."
