Witness recalls seeing a sasquatch cross the road near Enterprise

August 1965 middle of the day Enterprise, Oneida County, Wisconsin 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his young brother were driving with the convertible top down around Pelican Lake on a bright August midday. As they approached a sharp jog in a rural road bordered by mature forest, they saw a tall hair-covered biped walking slowly across the road. The creature turned to look at them for several moments, then moved quickly off the roadside and disappeared. The driver stopped, searched briefly on foot without finding a trace, and the pair returned to their cottage shaken.
