Sasquatch sighting in Vermont (1979)
1979
daylight was breaking, early morning
Vermont
2 witnesses
Account
The young witness sat against a large maple at dawn on opening morning while deer ran past. A huge hairy biped stood behind the tree with its hand on the trunk, growled with a low vibration, then chased after the deer at great speed. The witness soiled himself, vomited and left with his father, who also saw the creature and warned him never to tell.
