Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (2002)
Account
The witness was camping with family and friends and went alone to sit by the lake late at night. She heard a huge splash and swimming sounds, smelled a horrible odor, and saw a figure standing in deep water that then lowered to head-out and swam away. The next morning a large partial footprint was found on the beach where a foot slid off a rock into sand.
