Resident observes a sasqautch chasing herd of deer east of Bethel
Account
The witness was sitting in a parked car in a driveway talking on the phone in the late afternoon. The witness noticed about 30 deer running quickly across a yard beyond a creek. Seconds later a very tall, solid black upright figure appeared following the deer, walking steadily and pausing briefly behind trees. The witness watched it from about 100 yards away and estimated it was 8 to 10 feet tall by comparison to the deer.
