Sasquatch sighting near Spokane, Washington (1970)
Account
The witness said he suggested using female gorilla blood samples to draw wildlife and joined a small team including an anthropologist near Spokane for several days. From camouflaged positions in trees they watched an upright, over-eight-foot figure approach the bait, smell it twice, and leave silently with a strong wet odor. Footprints were cast and kept by the anthropologist.
