Memory told of a daylight sighting near Chauncey
Account
The witness was swimming and having lunch with a companion, a child, and a dog at a secluded river sandbar on a hot summer day. When the dog became agitated, she went to check near the parked truck and saw a tall thin dark figure moving through brush about 20 yards away. She was startled, told her companion it was a Sasquatch, and they left.
