Young Man Has Surprise Encounter at High School Graduation Party
Account
On graduation night in 1982, the witness hid at the edge of a field to blow a predator call as a prank on camping classmates. After calling without effect, the witness heard a branch snap, turned with a flashlight, and saw a tall male sasquatch-like figure about 10 feet away holding brush aside. After a few seconds the witness switched off the light, heard a noise, and the figure was gone when the light returned.
