Sasquatch sighting in Indiana (1983)
Account
The guest, as a child with parents and young brother, hiked in a state park after lunch and entered fog with total silence. A dark hovering craft with lights was seen and the group encountered five ape-like beings including a small female that changed from chimp-like to human-like. The beings washed in a creek, vocalized, and held the family for over an hour until the father broke what felt like a mental hold and the family ran back to the parking lot.
