Sasquatch sighting near Asheville, North Carolina (2008)

On the third day they were spread out traversing a steep slope when the witness stopped to rest and heard movement in thick brush below.

It glanced toward a second noise downhill, then left as the friends approached calling out, leaving the witness injured and shaken.
