Sasquatch sighting in Massachusetts

last day or two of shotgun season, first week of December, thirty eight years ago morning Massachusetts 1 witness

Account

The witness went deer hunting alone in the morning on a mountain top near reservoirs and orchards. While waiting in ambush by a stone wall, the witness first mistook a crouched figure for another hunter, then realized it was a very large hair-covered biped about thirty-five yards away. The creature made repeated hand gestures, approached to within a few yards, vocalized with whoops and a whistle, then left with a second smaller individual. The witness later measured the height against a tree mark at about seven feet eight inches.
