Husband and wife observe sasquatch at river's edge
Account
The witness and spouse were drifting down the Missouri River behind fishing jugs with the motor off when they spotted a dark hairy figure drinking at the water's edge. As they drifted to within about 50 feet it stood on two legs, noticed them, and walked into the nearby woods. After it disappeared they heard trees being knocked down for about a minute and noticed a wet musky odor.
