First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 491

Sasquatch sighting in California (2010)

2010 daytime California 1 witness

Account

The witness was hiking alone with his dog toward a bushcraft shelter he built near sealed mines between two counties. He felt watched and saw a very large, hairy, human-like creature walking parallel on a ridge. The creature hit its head on a branch, cried out, snapped the branch, and disappeared. The witness later climbed to the spot and found the fresh break high above his reach.
