Sasquatch sighting near Ocean Shores, Washington (1959)
Account
At age six the guest was picking blackberries behind a vacation duplex when a hair-covered hand repeatedly reached through the bushes. He touched the hand, then saw its face and spoke to it, offering berries and holding hands. A dog barked, the creature broke a branch into a club, left down a trail, and later returned the berry bucket; adults found large barefoot tracks.
