On the evening of August 24, 2011, I had dinner with clinical psychologist Matthew Johnson. Matt is known for his Bigfoot encounter over the first July weekend in 2001, at the Oregon Caves. He is in Portland, Maine, in conjunction with his positive parenting talks he delivers around the country.
Our dinner served as a good chance for us to meet and talk, mostly about Sasquatch, of course.
If you have never met the man, first off, the friendly and personable Matt is large. At 6 ft 9 inches, his 2001 sighting of what he sensed was a large Bigfoot is placed in an important context. The creature was much bigger than this tall human. Matt is a credible witness, from my past interactions with him, long distance, and this was only reinforced when I interviewed him over dinner and afterward.
