Sasquatch sighting near Potsdam, New York (2013)
Account
The witness was driving home in the early morning on a rural road when a large dark bipedal figure came to the road and crossed completely in a few quick steps. He stopped, watched it disappear up a hill into trees and bushes, then later returned with family and saw vegetation pushed down where something heavy had passed. He later learned friends had reported similar road crossings nearby.
