Six witnesses in three cars see a sasquatch in Big Piney Woods
Account
Three cars traveling together at night on a rural road through forest slowed when a creature was seen crouched on the left side. It stood and crossed the road between the lead and middle cars, then stopped in a drainage ditch on the right where it was watched in headlights for about a minute. The cars continued without stopping until reaching a gas station much later.
