Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2012)
Account
After baiting a log with fruit for weeks in a floodplain labyrinth, the witness arrived on a bright moonlit night and heard a splash and clap-like sound. From his watch point he mistook a crouched shape for a stump until it turned and moved off on all fours with remarkably smooth motion. It covered ground quickly and leapt over a fallen tree with arms and legs extended before disappearing. His attempt to review body-camera footage failed due to low light, and a next-day drone search found nothing.
