Two witnesses observe a Sasquatch at dusk in the White River National Wildlife Refuge
Account
The witness and a companion were driving north on the levee gravel road at dusk after a fishing trip. An upright hair-covered figure emerged from tall grass, crossed the road in front of the vehicle headlights, and went down into tall grass on the other side and out of sight. As the vehicle passed through the path it had taken, the witness smelled a very strong musty and putrid odor.
