Sasquatch sighting near Raleigh County

Account
As an 11-year-old rounding up loose cows behind his grandmother's house, the witness walked toward a community center to look for more cows and saw a huge wide shape like a Volkswagen moving uphill. It rose up on its hind legs and covered about one hundred yards in two to three seconds. An electric fence was found busted open where it had gone through. He later wondered if it was Bigfoot rather than an unusually large bear.
