Family has face to face encounter with sasquatch in their back yard
Account
In the early evening, a mother and her teenage son pursued a figure that had startled livestock behind their rural home. They observed it at close range across a creek for several minutes in bright sunlight, noting its height, hair, facial features and build. After the mother urged retreat, the creature vocalized and gestured before the family returned to the house and later reported the incident.
