First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 991

Sasquatch sighting near Westerville, Ohio (1972)

1972 around 2 a.m. Westerville, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The guest walked along railroad tracks late at night to bring water and supplies to a friend staying in a makeshift shelter in the woods. In a moonlit clearing he watched a human-like figure stand upright, share prolonged eye contact, then flee into the woods while making a loud hissing breath sound. A much larger figure then charged from the trees, crossed the clearing in a few strides, and stayed parallel to him through the woods until he reached the road.
