Sasquatch sighting in California (1988)
Account
While fishing with a parent on a cold morning, the witness noticed a tall thin creature lying on its stomach behind a hollow log across the stream watching them. After the parent also saw it, a loud sharp crack behind them drew their attention, and the creature leapt over the log and crossed the stream in three steps before disappearing across the road into trees. The parent hurried them out and warned the witness never to tell anyone.
