Sasquatch sighting near Boone, North Carolina (2008)
Account
On Sunday morning the witness went alone to fish the river below the cabin while his father packed. After calling out to the presence he had sensed all weekend, a roughly ten-foot-tall dark-haired biped stepped from the trees, came down the bank, and stood across the narrow river watching him. They observed each other for about fifteen minutes as the creature scratched, swatted flies, made a deep yawn-like sound, drank from the river, then the witness left fish on the bank and walked back as it splashed through the water and up the hill.
