Sasquatch sighting near Flagstaff, Arizona (1973)

December 1973 late afternoon Flagstaff, Arizona

Account

A driver traveling with family for the holidays pulled off a highway in snow to check a map. A tall, bulky, hair-covered bipedal figure ran toward the car from behind and chased it. The driver accelerated away, reaching high speed before leaving the figure behind, and came to believe such creatures exist.
