Lower Fish Creek, Utah Encounter - Early 1970's

     Paul Pugliese is the owner of a successful business in Price, Utah and is very well known through out the county. Paul was riding dirt bikes with his cousin down lower fish creek and had an encounter with a Bigfoot. Here is his story, as told to me by Paul :

 Lower Fish Creek, From Colton, Utah

     Paul and his cousin, were riding their dirt bikes from the dam at Scofield reservoir, to Price canyon. They were slowly making their way down the canyon and Paul decided he better stop and wait for his cousin to catch up. When he turned around to look back, he noticed a big upright animal following his cousin at a short distance behind. He told me it seemed to be pacing his cousin. Trying to get his attention at no avail, his cousin had no idea of what was following him. When he arrived, to where Paul was waiting for him, he finally turned around to look behind, but by this time the Bigfoot had crossed the river and was climbing the side of the canyon to the northwest. This was about one mile from the confluence of the Price and White rivers. They started their bikes and got the hell out of there. Paul described it as being approximately 8 feet tall and looking like a very large gorilla. The sides of the canyon are very steep and he told me that it was proceeding up the side very quickly.
