Possible Sasquatch sighting by camper near Camp Cadiz in Shawnee National Forest
Account
A couple was driving on an old muddy road near a campground searching for a place to camp. The wife, riding as passenger, glimpsed from the corner of her eye a tall upright dark figure emerging from the tree line toward the road that then went back into the woods. The husband, who was driving, saw nothing. The glimpse lasted only a few seconds in daylight.
