Gold prospector has evening encounter with sasquatch
Account
The witness and a companion were camped overnight while prospecting. About an hour after dark they heard a loud minute-long scream that shifted in pitch and direction and seemed to originate just outside the camp light. They did not see the source, which then left quietly. The next day they noted apparent bedding under a collapsed cabin roof and an odd-shaped impression in a creek sandbar.
