Here is our Bigfoot sightings you requested from a comment I made on your post
"Over 50 Utah Bigfoot Encounters Listed With BFRO"
Doc 1 is the first E-mail sent to me from Phillip Jensen telling me about his sighting while driving home from work on 05-04-2012. He works for the West Ridge Coal Mine located in C-Canyon as a truck load out boss. The mine is now closed.
Doc 2 is a detailed account of Phillip Jensen's two sightings on 05-04-2012 & again on 10-16-2013 while driving home from work at the West Ridge Coal Mine.
Doc 3 is my sighting (Ron Johnson) & my cousin (Kevin Allridge) who was with me on 05-12-2012.
I included a photo of the location of Ron (myself) and Kevin's sighting location. Phillip and myself have been setting out "gifts" of different fruits and vegetables for the Sasquatch near where my sighting was, with positive results. Phillip has a photo of some thing black watching him from the trees close by. The photo is very ambiguous just showing a black spot in the trees, but I did try enhancing it and it does look like has a mouth, nose and eyes on it. I will dig it out of my archives and send it to you if you would like me too..

Hi Ron - On Friday, May 4, at approximately 4:30 pm MST, I had my own sighting of "something".
It all started on my way home from work. I had just left the West Ridge Mine, where I work, and I was driving along. I happened to look off the side of the road and "something" was sitting nest to a large rock. I say "something" because I had no idea what it was.
My first instinct was a gorilla. But it was the wrong color. It was reddish-brown color, but its shapes was close to a gorilla. Its back was to me, but I could see that it had shoulders and hair that was about 4" long. The hair was blowing in the wind. It was sitting up. I wasn't able to see anything of its face or front. I should have stopped and gone back to look at it, but I had to get to town to pickup my wife.
I came back about two hours later with my wife. I wanted another set of eyes and a witness in case we found something. We crossed a fence and went to where I thought it had been, but we couldn't find any good tracks or much sign that something had been there. When we couldn't find anything right away my wife wanted to go. I wanted to look around some more and maybe do some calls to see if anything responded, but my wife was impatient and insisted that we leave. So, I didn't get any evidence. But know I saw something.
I've been trying to think what else it could be, but I haven't had any luck. I thought it might be a bear, but it had shoulders, and bears don't have shoulders and I have never seen a bear that color before. I thought maybe a cow, a horse, a coyote, a wolf, a llama. Nothing matches the body shape. We watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on Saturday night and what I saw was a lot like the back of a gorilla, but the color was different, the fur was different, and the build was a little different. I really don't know what it is that I saw, but I know what it wasn't. I am keeping my eyes more open than ever now as I travel around the area.
My sighting was very short, only a few seconds long, but it is really sticking with me. It was on the 'C' Canyon Road, going north from Highway 123 from Highway 6 to East Carbon, at approximately mile marker 8. It was on the west side of the road. If I hadn't looked right at it, I would not have seen it. It blended in well with the surroundings. I just wanted to let you know what happened to me. Thanks ,
PJ

Hi Ron-
This is the account of my sighting of an unknown animal from May 2012. To date, the closest animal that I have seen that is close to what I saw is the subject of the Patterson Gimlin film from 1967. Here is my story:
On Friday, May 2012, I left work at approximately 4:15 pm (MST) as usual. I was driving southbound on "C" Canyon Road at approximately 60 mph. The wind was blowing strongly that afternoon so I slowed down. As I reached the stretch near milepost 9, I noticed at a distance what I thought was a dead tree. It was about the right size and color. I didn't remember seeing a dead tree there before, so I kept looking.
As I approached the figure, I realized that I could not see through the figure, as you would a normal tree. This thing was solid. As I got closer I also realized that the form was not that of a tree, more like a gorilla sitting upright. That was my first impression. The shape was approximately correct, but the proportions were different. It did have a conical crown on its head, and the trapezius muscles were enormous. They reminded me of a Cardassian's neck from Star Trek. As I passed the animal, I noticed that the hair blowing in the wind. The hair actually parted and I saw what I thought to be pale pinkish skin, like a long-haired dog's skin but lighter. I did not see an undercoat, like on a long-haired dog. The hair was approximately six inches long. The animal was sitting next to a large rock that went just below the arm pits of the animal. It had shoulders and two arms hanging below. The animal was sitting or crouching.
I then rounded a bend in the road and lost sight of the animal. I was not able to see it in my rear-view mirror due to the direction of the turn. The closes that I got to the animal was approximately 60-70 feet. It was directly beyond a barbed wire fence on the west side of the road. My sighting lasted approximately 6-7 seconds. It took me a few moments for my brain to comprehend what I had just seen.
My first instinct was that I had seen a cinnamon-colored massive gorilla, but my brain could not believe what my eyes were telling it. I have lived in this area most of my life and I have never seen anything like that before.
Later that evening, my wife and I returned to the area where I had seen the animal. We searched all around and could not find any sign of it, no footprints or hair. Nothing. We left after about an hour of searching.
The following Monday, May 7, I returned to the site after work to search again. This time, I found what could be a footprint, but it was severely degraded. I measured the rock by which the animal was sitting or was crouched.
The rock measures 4.0' to 4.5'. By my estimation, that makes the animal 6.0' to 6.5' to the crown of its head, while sitting. When standing on two legs, I estimated that would have been in the 8.0 to 8.5' range.
I also found where three branches had been broken from a pinion juniper tree and placed in a "C" formation below. I took some pictures that I still have on my phone, but I don't know how to retrieve them.
While looking at the "C" formation, I suddenly had the feeling that I was being watched. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I became very uneasy. That's when I heard a cow "moo" from some bushes approximately 75-100 yards away. What I find very peculiar about this is that I hadn't seen any cows for several weeks. I honestly thought that they had been moved to their summer ranges. Then I remembered something that I had read about sasquatches imitating wildlife in the areas.
I immediately gathered myself up and left. I did not see what made the sound and I did not see any cattle in the area until the following autumn.
After my sighting, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I had seen.
I tried to determine if I had a misidentified known animal. I picked up a book by the Audubon Society that describes animals that are native to the area. I carefully considered each large mammal to see if that is what I had seen. Nothing else matches the description.
Then, in July, I was watching a program where the Patterson Gimlin film was shown. When the subject of the film turns its back on the camera and walks away I jumped up from my chair and shouted, "That's what I saw!!" And it was. The proportions were correct, but the color was not. The subject of the film most closely represents what I saw that day.
I have also had another possible recent sighting of the same animal that I have not mentioned to you yet. It happened on October 16, 2013. Again, I was driving home from work down the same "C" Canyon Road. This time, I was farther down the road, closer to Highway 123.
I looked to my right and noticed what looked like a cinnamon-colored animal standing on two legs trying to hide behind a tree, but the tree was way too small for him. Then, I saw the face looking back at me. It was a face halfway between human and gorilla, in my opinion. It had a strong brow ridge and the eyes were lost in shadow. The nose was wide, but I could see where the nostrils were. The sighting was only a couple of seconds, so I didn't get as much detail as my first sighting. It may have been the same animal that I saw in 2012, or a completely different specimen. I'm not sure.
I thought about turning around, but there is not a safe place to turn around in that area and I didn't want to risk getting hit by a coal truck. I went back to look for evidence the following day. I didn't find much of anything. I did find what could be a track, but it was degraded to where the details were gone, but the general size and shape were correct. I haven't reported this to you or the BFRO because I am unsure about the exact location of the tree where I was standing, and it was such a brief sighting, lasting only 1-2 seconds. But, I am convinced that we have something roaming the Book Cliffs area that closely resembles sasquatch. Attached is a picture that I found on the internet that most closely resembles what I saw in October.
This is the actual image added 5/10/19
Both sightings happened at the same time of day, approximately 4:30 pm MST. Both sightings were on the west side of "C" Canyon Road. The lighting was good for both sightings. In both sightings, the figure was massive. I cannot think of any other animal that matches the description of what I saw in either sighting, except a sasquatch. It is the only animal with the correct size, shape, color and mass of the animal(s) that I saw.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. I can be contacted at the address below.
Thanks,

Doc - 3 Ron Johnson and Kevin Allridge sighting 05-13-2012
Ron Johnson and Kevin Allridge Sighting
On 05/07/2012 I received an e-mail from Mr. Phillip Jensen (PJ) in Utah stating that he might have seen a Bigfoot (Sasquatch) on the side of the road below the West Ridge mine where he is employed. This is located at the east end of Carbon County, Utah in the Roan cliffs on the west Tavaputs Plateu. I told him in an e-mail that I would go there and look for evidence. On 05/08/2012 I went to C canyon an parked at the gate to the mine and walked down the west side of the road approximately 2 miles then proceeded back up the road to my truck, looking for tracks, hair or anything unusual that might be around. I tried some calling with no results.
The coal truck traffic was quite heavy that day so I decided to drive down to a dirt road that parallels the mountains just below the mouth of the canyon and continued my search at that point. I stayed on the west side of the highway since that is the side Phillip had his sighting. I crisscrossed back and forth looking for some kind of evidence but still found nothing. It was getting late in the evening so I decided to go home then come back at night to try some calling.
I came back around 11:00 pm and tried doing the calls in different locations with no results. The next day I did the same thing but farther to the west from the highway with no results. The next day, I tried the same thing but on the east side of the highway, not seeing anything. There is a high bench on the east side and I came back at night to try calling and again no results. Friday and Saturday I looked again with no results. On Sunday 05/13/2012 I was in Price, Utah and stopped at my cousins house Kevin Allridge.
I asked Kevin if he would like to go up C canyon to see where the Bigfoot sighting was and he agreed to go. I didn't have any of my equipment with me and decided not to spend much time there.
This turned out toe a big mistake not having my cameras with me. We arrived at the dirt road at the base of the Book Cliffs and I showed him the general areas where the sighting occurred. We then drove about one mile west on the dirt road and looked for a moment. While driving back to the highway at approximately 1/4 mile before reaching the pavement I saw a very tall dark colored animal standing in a small clearing. The area is mostly pinion pine and juniper and is very rocky. I stopped my Jeep and backed up to where I could get a better look at it. I pressed my chin against the steering wheel and watched it. Kevin started to get a little excited telling me do you see it! Do you see it! I tell him yes, I do see it. We sat there for a short moment and then I told Kevin to get out very slowly. I got out but when I looked it was gone. Another short moment goes by and Kevin asks me if we should walk down there. I tell him not yet that I'm getting a message telling us to stay back. do not approach, and feeling very apprehensive about this.
After a few minutes, we started to walk towards where it was standing and about half way to where it was standing, Kevin drops down onto his knees looking under all the trees telling me that there are two other ones. I could hear a loud grunting noise and thumping as if a heavy animal was close by and running away but never seen what it was. Kevin told me that it was standing upright when it ran off. We continued to where the first one was standing and by looking at the trees in the area, I knew it had to be at least 8 foot tall. I went back the next day and measured a branch that was next to its head and it had to be approximately 8 1/2 foot tall and was about 90 feet from the edge of the dirt road.
We started walking over to the edge of the trees and again a message come into my mind saying, stay back, do not approach. After a short time went I felt better about proceeding, we could see 3 unknown animals going over a hill. When I noticed them they were almost entirely gone behind a hill and couldn't identify them. They were headed southwest, away from the mountains towards the lower valley.
What I saw was approximately 8 1/2 foot tall standing still on 2 legs. It had a dark reddish black matted hair from its head down to it feet. The head was a very large and wide looking as if it didn't have a neck and looked as if it was attached to its shoulders. It had a large brow bones that were very noticeable and the nose was very wide and flat. The top of its head had to look like a crown but wasn't real high. The lips where very large or fat and could see teeth sticking out. What's odd is that it had long scraggly gray colored beard that went down almost to its waist. For some strange reason I knew that it was a male and it was very old. There were streaks of gray hair that could see on its torso, arms and legs that made it look old. The shoulders seemed to be wide with very muscular arms hanging straight down. One bicep looked bigger than my 2 legs put together. The hair I'm guessing would be about 3 to 4 inches long except on his cheeks was longer but sparser. All the time it stood there watching us, it never moved, seemed like a statue. To me some of its features seemed more human like and not so much primate, but that's only my opinion.

Hi Ron
Appreciate the detail on all of these sighting reports. Intriguing.
We investigated a Bigfoot sighting location late last fall roughly 40 miles South West near Huntington.

April 6th 2012 we had a terrifying Bigfoot encounter North of where all your reported sightings happened. Same type of terrain too. Below is the deepest footprint it left behind after it jumped over 15 foot wide river. Then hid in the tree line above the river. It stomped around, breaking branches in what felt like an attempt to scare us away.
