Sasquatch sighting in Washington (1971)

1971 daytime Washington

Account

In 1971 the nine-year-old witness and other children rode bikes toward a house where a bear was reported looking in windows. A large black hairy creature crossed the road in front of them and went down a trail toward their woods fort. The witness followed, confronted it at close range, saw a muscular creature with a blonde head patch and expressionless face, then yelled for the others to retreat and ran home.
