Sasquatch sighting in South Carolina (1978)

The caller says at fourteen while deer hunting he waited alone on a riverbank in fog. Something came out of the river about fifty feet away, walked upright and dark like a bear but with rounded primate ears. It moved branches with a hand, sniffed his incoming trail, then angled off. He was terrified and did not tell his father for years.
