Hiking boy has close encounter in High Sierra

In September 1972 the witness was backpacking down a trail from a lake with his father and a companion when he moved ahead alone into a small meadow. About 12 feet away he saw a large hairy animal bent over digging, which then stood erect to an estimated 8 feet or more with its back to him before he hid behind a boulder. When he looked again it was gone, and companions arriving minutes later saw only broken brush and hair. He kept the account secret for decades until later seeing films that matched his memory.

Memories told of encounters experienced by a family living near Villa Grove

Sasquatch sighting

A young child reported a furry smelly cowman at the field edge, followed by an older sibling being followed by heavy footsteps and a father finding long coarse hair on a loosened fence wire. That evening the father and son were chased from the woods, night howls with whoops continued, and a large shape spoke and made faces at the bedroom window. The mother shot at an arm reaching for the child, the family fled, and returning days later found the house interior violently torn apart.

Sasquatch sighting near Batesville, Arkansas

The witness was driving home on a two-lane highway in north-central Arkansas after sunset when a fast, reddish-haired ape-like animal carrying a raccoon in its mouth ran into the road.

Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma

At age 15 the guest was fishing alone at a creek near his father's house when he heard whoops and saw a large hairy figure behind a sycamore.

Later that day his father found broken trees, blood and hair on the sycamore, and blood and hair on the broken fence wires.

Witness observed two creatures crossing the road

About seven years earlier, while driving at dusk on a gravel road into the Blue Mountains, the witness came around a bend and saw two tall figures crossing the road in the headlights. The lights reflected yellow from their eyes while low sunlight illuminated their bodies. The witness stopped and got out after they walked into the woods but saw nothing further and found no tracks because the ground was hard.
