A California woman is suing the state of California for failure to recognize Bigfoot.

According to news reports, Claudia Ackley claims she saw three Sasquatches in the San Bernardino mountains while hiking with her daughters. Ackley, who called 911 to report the sightings and later followed up with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, is now suing CDFW and the state's Natural Resources Agency because the authorities didn't believe her.

"I'm sorry you saw a bear,'" Ackley said she was told. "And I said no; this was no bear. I know what I saw."

Ackley says she filed the lawsuit because people are "totally vulnerable to these things" due to the state's failure to recognize the Bigfoot threat.

"They're on our property. They knock on our walls. They look through our windows," Ackley said. "It's more and more and more."

A spokesperson for the CDFW would not comment because of the pending lawsuit.
