Two young campers get stalked at night, then a Sasquatch sighting the next morning near John J. Audubon Historic Trail in Mark Twain National Forest
Account
The witness and a companion returned to camp in the morning and then hiked a forest trail. At a spring they noticed a large heel-like print. About a mile farther, the witness saw a tall, reddish, long-haired biped run up a wooded hill and disappear. The companion did not see it, and the two left the area.
