Sasquatch sighting near Highlands, North Carolina (2011)

2011 after sundown in twilight Highlands, North Carolina 1 witness

Account

The witness hiked out to a granite face after work and headed back at dusk through dense overgrown trail along a dry creek. Something large and heavy sprinted on all fours from behind him, blurred past, crossed the creek and stopped silently. He felt watched, left quickly, and later jokingly told his wife he ran into a giant wolf.
