Account

The witness was waiting on an anchored fishing boat while a companion was upriver checking the salmon run. While scanning the shore with binoculars toward evening, the witness saw a sasquatch walking across the tundra about 1,000 feet away. The animal moved with long smooth steps and had dark shoulder hair that bounced behind like a cape.
