Sasquatch sighting in South Carolina (1999)

The witness was deer hunting alone from a box blind on an old railroad bed in the morning.

After it reached a corn pile it turned toward the blind, froze when the witness waved, then fled extremely fast back the way it came. The witness later told his father and the property manager, who searched the area and nearby houses but found no matching poacher.
