Witness observes sasquatch run along treeline
Account
The witness had gone outside to bring the dog in on a dark, cloudy day with light rain. From about 200 yards away across a golf course, the witness saw a large darkish-brown upright figure emerge from the tree edge, cross about 20 yards in 5 to 6 seconds, and disappear into the tree line. The witness searched the area the next week but found no footprints due to rain.
