Sasquatch sighting near Eureka, California (2002)
Account
The witness was mountain biking on a remote climb when he stopped to relieve himself and heard bipedal footsteps uphill. He saw a tall, long-haired reddish creature take two steps behind a tree about 40 feet away. As he tried to peer around for a better look, a loud growl-roar-scream came from behind him on a ledge, and he fled downhill without looking back.
