Account

The witness was camping with family at Sugar Pine Campground when whooping and long wailing sounds were heard coming from the forest behind the camp. Frightened, the witness ran into the family trailer. Years later the witness heard similar recorded sounds online and concluded the sounds had been those of a sasquatch.
