Woman recounts childhood sighting behind her house near Lake Charles

Memory told of a nighttime sighting while working as a police officer answering a prowler call in Marrero

Two officers responding to a late-night prowler call encountered a tall dark hair-covered biped. It was first seen pressed against a house, then moved between houses and crossed a residential street under a streetlight before disappearing into a wooded marshy area near a canal. The officers watched it cross the wide street in three strides without running, and tracking dogs lost its scent at the marsh.

Sasquatch sighting in Louisiana

The guest and a companion were on a levee at night using thermals when the companion spotted a huge heat signature over 300 yards away. The guest saw a giant figure twice as large as a nearby cow turn, walk with swinging arms, pause to look, and enter the treeline by power poles. The thermal failed to record due to a chip malfunction, and next-day search found only large dried scuffs.
