Sasquatch sighting near Bartell, California
Account
The witness was driving alone on a highway in the morning and noticed what looked like a backpacker with hiking poles on the shoulder. The figure crossed the road in a few long strides with odd bobbing motion, and sunlight revealed a wide-shouldered, dark-coated biped with no pack. The witness drove to the crossing point but could no longer see it in the thinned forest.
