Sasquatch sighting near Vancouver
Account
The witness, then 16, left a guided redwood hiking tour with a cousin and went about 100-150 yards off trail to a fallen tree. Coming around the exposed roots within about 10 feet, the witness saw a reddish-haired, broad-backed creature squatting with its back turned, first thinking it was a bear. The creature rose to near seven feet with human-like arms and legs and began turning, prompting both to flee to the tour group while hearing pursuit to the side; the witness later rationalized it as an escaped orangutan before concluding it was a Sasquatch.
