Tuesday on the 21st York, York County, Pennsylvania #b717225a-a92f-4caa-b7b7-76b230b5c39b

Sasquatch sighting near York, Pennsylvania

The guest, a delivery truck driver, was en route to a distribution center in York when he saw a large dark figure by a creek from a bridge. He stopped along with another driver to watch it, thinking it was a bear. The figure stood to about eight and a half feet, looked like a hairy human holding a dead goat or dog, grunted, slammed a fist into the water, then dropped to all fours and fled rapidly through water and woods. A state trooper who responded suggested a bear, which both witnesses rejected.

Cryptid sighting near Tripp County

Long ago before horses, a thirty-foot giant attacked a small village at night, destroying lodges and swallowing several women whole. Eight men tracked him, dug a massive trench, lured him to trip into it, and buried him with rocks and earth until he suffocated. They cut open his belly to recover the women, and his grave is said to be a lone oblong butte.

Sasquatch sighting near Pine Ridge, South Dakota

An older man walked him away from the fire toward the cook shack to look into the dark, where they both saw two massive shadowy upright shapes standing at the edge of camp watching. The older man said such beings are drawn to ceremonies to observe and protect, and they remained at a distance without approaching or making sound.

this summer when I was 10 years old Pioneer, Florida #gid://art19-episode-locator/V0/CQEQV6NoyjM-WxeaA-WVLTcjaixdNk8iIu98Wom5Rb0

Sasquatch sighting near Pioneer, Florida

The witness, then a 10-year-old boy, was catching reptiles in a dry creek bed behind his grandparents' rural property when a tall slender ape-like female appeared across the creek with an infant. He crouched and pretended to eat vegetation to avoid provoking her while they observed each other for several minutes. A taller darker male then emerged, bared his teeth and displayed aggressively, and the female positioned herself between the male and the boy. Both creatures then left into the brush, and the boy ran home and told his grandmother, who said she believed him.
