Sasquatch sighting near Saginaw, Arkansas (1974)
Account
As a 12-year-old, the witness slipped into his squirrel hunting and fishing spot in bottomland after noticing disturbed traps, knocks, odors and large three-toed tracks. At a fallen oak over a creek, he came face to face at very close range with a tall hairy male-like figure standing in water that screamed, clicked its teeth and splashed water in his face. He fled through brush and fence to his house, and his father later saw the scattered tackle and tracks.
