Sasquatch sighting in Mississippi (1970)
Account
Three children were catching lightning bugs in a pasture at dusk while their grandfather called them from the porch. The grandfather saw an upright figure on a fence line drop to all fours and lope toward the children. He ran shouting, the children froze or fled, and the creature stopped, stood erect, then walked away into cedar trees while watching them.
