Sasquatch sighting in Washington (1968)
Account
A few days into a school camping trip, the first guest was standing with two other girls at the edge of a field after a softball game when the companions fled in terror. The witness turned, locked eyes with a tall hair-covered figure standing close behind, and ran in circles around it while it turned to keep eye contact until shouts from the group helped break the lock. Camp staff sent the children home early citing a bear, though the witness insisted the face and eyes looked human.
