Sasquatch sighting near Ben Avon, Pennsylvania (1906)

1906 Ben Avon, Pennsylvania 4 witnesses

Account

Four men returning home were accosted by a long-haired gorilla-like wild man and fought it to the ground, binding its wrists. It freed itself, climbed a tree with cat-like agility, then later came down and fought the two watchers, badly biting and scratching one and tearing clothing before disappearing.
