Sasquatch sighting near Luray, Virginia (2024)

While working a delivery route in rural Virginia, the guest stopped at a house at the end of a wooded road with a clearing leading to a waterfall. Turning from the porch, the guest saw a tall, wide, silver-haired biped standing partly behind a tree, which held a branch and then mirrored the guest's raised hand. The guest retreated to the truck, watched the being walk away showing a rounded head and muscular build, then left quickly, later resigning the route.
