Forestry Worker Observes a Sasquatch in Clear-Cut Near Feather River
Account
The witness was working alone in a remote clearcut counting planted trees when loud noise drew attention to the brush edge. A tall upright creature about 110 to 125 yards away paused leaning its forearms on a bent tree for about 45 seconds while looking back. It then stood, took two steps, and disappeared; the witness did not search for tracks and continued working.
