Widow Raised a Young Bigfoot in Secret For 14 Years — When It Grew Too Big to Hide, the Men Came
Shirley Cooper is a widow living alone on sixty isolated acres on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State when a devastating flood in the fall of 1982 brings a small, frightened creature into her life, one she pulls from the wreckage of a logjam with her own hands. What follows is fourteen years of secrecy and devotion as she raises him in her home, teaching him, feeding him, and building a bond that grows deeper with each passing season while the two of them learn to communicate in a language all their own. As he grows larger and harder to hide, the quiet mountain life Shirley has built starts to draw the attention of outsiders, and she is forced to reckon with what it will take to keep him safe. Her account moves through the small daily rituals of their life together, the neighbors who came close to discovering the truth, and the arrival of men determined to find what she had kept hidden. It is a story about an unlikely bond formed in isolation, and the impossible choice a woman must make when the world she has protected starts closing in. Told entirely in her own voice, this is testimony from a woman near the end of her life who has carried this alone for decades.
