1999 South Carolina EP 869

Sasquatch sighting in South Carolina (1999)

The witness was deer hunting alone from a box blind on an old railroad bed in the morning. Through a rifle scope he watched a large black-haired biped move between the woods and a field for about twenty minutes, at one point scratching its leg like a person and checking the wind. After it reached a corn pile it turned toward the blind, froze when the witness waved, then fled extremely fast back the way it came. The witness later told his father and the property manager, who searched the area and nearby houses but found no matching poacher.
