Third-hand Bigfoot Society EP 449

Sasquatch sighting near Santa Cruz, California (1970)

One summer, in the nineteen seventies Santa Cruz, California

Account

A group of hippie kids and a church family at a river swimming hole watched rocks fly from the trees and felt the mountainside shake toward them. A nine-foot hairy biped jumped into the five-foot hole, mostly staying dry, then roared. The witnesses fled and the hole was closed for the summer.
