First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 1163

Sasquatch sighting in New Mexico (1973)

1973 around four thirty in the afternoon New Mexico

Account

The witness describes walking alone on a trail to a stream in New Mexico in 1973 when something crashed behind them. Turning around, they saw a very hairy bipedal creature about seven to eight feet tall that looked directly at them. They ran as it followed with loud thumping footsteps, then the steps stopped and it was gone, with a rotten-meat stench noticed afterward.
