Sasquatch sighting in California (1980)
Account
The guest was working with a conservation crew planting trees in the Marble Mountains and stepped well away from the group to relieve herself behind a tree. She heard crunching and saw a tall red-furred creature repeatedly peering around a tree, clearly seeing its face and hands. Terrified, she fled back to the crew screaming about a monster while the crew laughed. She reports nightmares for years afterward and now identifies what she saw as Bigfoot.
