First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 577

Sasquatch sighting near Lake County (1958)

July 1958 Sunday night about seven o'clock Lake County, California 3 witnesses

Account

Three youths working overnight irrigation in a walnut orchard spotted someone walking among the trees and chased it in a pickup. They intercepted a tall, heavy, hair-covered biped at close range that grinned without showing teeth and continued uphill without slowing. It crossed roads, ran through a neighboring orchard at high speed, and pushed through tall brush at the tree line where they lost it.
