Account

A beach resident told the reporter he had encountered a sasquatch on the beach about a month earlier. The creature reportedly came out onto the open beach in daylight, noticed the witness, and then quickly retreated into the surrounding forest. The only descriptive detail the reporter recalled was that it was very dark in colour.
