Sasquatch sighting near Blanding, Utah (1950)
Account
The guest's great-aunt was camped with children in a teepee on the mountain while her husband hunted. Early in the morning something shook the teepee fabric, which she first thought was children playing. After repeated stronger shaking, the creature ripped it open, stuck its head inside and screamed, causing her and the children to scream back before it ran away.
