Class A First-hand BFRO #25836

Woman recalls daytime sighting and numerous other experiences near the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers

23 November 2006 clear sunny afternoon Argyle And Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa 1 witness

Account

The witness was a passenger driving home past a grassy field beside a treeline. She watched a dark, tail-less animal moving on all fours in the same direction at a slow lope. After it turned its head toward her she noted a black face with no snout, framing hair and thick legs, later interpreting it as a possible juvenile Sasquatch.
