Young hunter sees and hears a sasquatch near Applegate
Account
A 12-year-old waiting alone in a truck on a logging road noticed a foul odor and his dog became frightened. A tall dark-haired biped stepped into the open on a bank about 40 feet away, watched him for about 30 seconds while making grunting and mumbling sounds and tilting its head, then ran uphill. The boy fled on foot toward relatives.
