Sasquatch sighting near Mariposa County (1966)
Account
At age twelve on an overnight science-camp trip, the witness slept apart from other children near a picnic table. Waking late at night to use the bathroom and holding a flashlight, the witness saw a very tall silver-white hairy figure standing nearby that turned slightly to look. The witness did not scream, checked that other children were asleep, looked back to find it gone, felt heavy vibrations as it left, and zipped into the sleeping bag until morning.
