Sasquatch sighting near Cherokee, North Carolina

A few years later the guest was playing inside near dusk while the father was dressing a deer outside. A shadow paced past the front window, then the creature screamed and pounded the house until its arm broke through the glass. The father ran out with a shotgun, argued and exchanged cries with it for nearly half an hour, then fired. The father later had the grandfather bring a truck, removed the body, and years later said he shot it in the face three times.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

As children playing behind a newly placed trailer in the evening, the witness and his two brothers heard a loud scream and saw a black hairy creature in a nearby tree. The branch broke and the creature fell about 12 to 15 feet, landing with barely bent legs before walking toward them. The children fled to the trailer, and two hid in an old freezer chest where the creature huffed at them through the lid before walking away.
