While she was smoking outside, a woman sees a Sasquatch watching her
Account
Late at night the witness's aunt stepped behind the house to smoke while the family was inside. The pet dog ran past her growling toward the trees, and she then saw a large hairy human-like figure standing and staring at her, noticing a strong foul odor. She fled back to the house screaming, and the family later discussed her claim of seeing Bigfoot.
