Deer Hunter describes Pre-Dawn Encounter with a Sasquatch on Glade Mountain 9 miles East of Marion
Account
The witness was walking to a deer hunting blind before sunrise when he noticed a dark shape lying across the trail in moonlight. When he shone his flashlight on it, the shape rose to vertical, turned away, and walked bipedally into dense vegetation almost silently. He later heard a throat-clearing sound from the thicket and found only disturbed leaves where it had gone.
