Sasquatch sighting near Springfield, Pennsylvania (1906)

Residents reported a hair-covered animal sometimes upright and sometimes moving on all fours at racehorse speed with a leaping stride. Heavy steel bear traps set and wired to an oak were found sprung with bait eaten, wire snapped, ground torn, and traps dragged rods away. Later explanations blaming a dog or disguised man were followed by continued reports.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
