Sasquatch sighting near Ocean Shores, Washington (1959)
Account
At age six the witness was picking blackberries behind a vacation duplex when a hair-covered being on the other side of the patch repeatedly pulled vines down. They touched hands, the witness saw its face and spoke to it, and the two exchanged berries. A dog rushed in barking, the being broke off a branch, left down a trail, and later footprints were found and the dropped berry bucket had been picked up.
