Sasquatch sighting near Springfield, Pennsylvania (1906)

1906 night Springfield, Delaware County, Pennsylvania

Account

Residents reported a hair-covered animal sometimes upright and sometimes moving on all fours at racehorse speed with a leaping stride. Heavy steel bear traps set and wired to an oak were found sprung with bait eaten, wire snapped, ground torn, and traps dragged rods away. Later explanations blaming a dog or disguised man were followed by continued reports.
