Sister and brother see 3 creatures near Yreka
Account
Two children walking on a dirt road by a clearing saw three bipedal hairy figures of different sizes about 50 yards away. The figures watched the children for about two minutes, then turned and walked into the woods, and the children ran home. The mother dismissed the sight as sheep, but the witness later concluded the figures matched Bigfoot descriptions.
