Class A First-hand BFRO #4081

Early morning sighting of young sasquatch in snow

15 January 1982 Between 1:30-2:30 am Edmond, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma 1 witness

Account

On a snowy night in winter 1982, the witness was walking home from work along a roadway when they noticed a dark, hair-covered figure in a nearby ravine. The figure, estimated at about five feet tall, appeared to be playing in the snow, scooping and throwing it over its head and rolling around. The witness watched from about 30-35 yards away while continuing to walk until out of sight, then ran away in fear.
