Sasquatch sighting in Missouri (2003)
Account
The witness was hiking a logging trail beside a meadow when he mistook a stooped animal digging in an uprooted tree for a bear and called out while drawing a handgun. The animal stood to about seven feet, showed raised hair that settled after he holstered the weapon, and fixated on the yellow towel around his neck, which he tossed toward it before backing away. Turning, he faced a much larger second individual about ten feet away and fainted, waking minutes later to find both gone, the towel missing, and a folded leaf with grubs inside his cap.
