Sasquatch sighting in Illinois
about 15, 20 years ago
evening, sun low but still light
Illinois
1 witness
Account
The witness drove a loud truck along a blacktop ridge road to check fields near the back entrance of a large state park. A huge hairy creature jumped a fence and stood in the road, forcing her to brake hard within about 15 to 20 feet. They stared at each other for about a minute before it left down a wooded hill and disappeared. She then drove home and told her mother, whose silent nod suggested prior knowledge.
