Sasquatch sighting near Albany, Georgia (1966)
Account
The witness was deer hunting alone from a climbing stand about 25 feet up near a creek in a large swamp. After birds and other animals suddenly went silent, he watched a tall gray hair-covered biped walk steadily along the opposite bank for several minutes without making sound. He later paced off the distance to a marked tree and estimated the creature at eight to ten feet tall, and became convinced it was a Sasquatch-like animal.
