Sasquatch sighting near Fort Bragg, California (1962)
Account
In February 1962, a woman saw a tall figure over her garden fence at night and woke the two men in the house. One man went outside to chase it, then crawled back up the walk with the creature towering behind him. It pressed to the screen door inches from the couple, left hand and foot prints, then later took eggs and dog food until the family moved away.
