one night New York EP 1020

Sasquatch sighting in New York

A school friend later told the witness about riding bicycles with others over a mountain toward town at night. The group saw a very large figure drop about seven feet from a roadside stone wall, land on one foot and spring off the same foot across the road into the woods.

A short time after this sighting Eureka, California EP 1022

Sasquatch sighting near Eureka, California

The witness had placed trash cans under his bedroom window after finding trash strewn near the woods. One night he woke to rattling, saw a cone-headed form at the cans, and watched it spin, drop to all fours, and sprint across the roughly 50-yard yard into dense rainforest-like brush at remarkable speed. At the time he dismissed it as a bear, but later interpreted the long arms and quadrupedal run as Sasquatch-like.

The witness, then a child, was wading a shallow creek fishing while the older cousin fished separately. The witness heard bipedal splashes and watched a huge hair-covered human-like figure cross the creek, climb the high bank, and eat fish from the stringer. The figure looked back and forth between the witness and the approaching cousin, then took the stringer and left the way it came. The cousin called it by a local name, said it was a Bigfoot, and made the witness swear never to mention it.

After circling, the witness found a wet step on a root and bark pulled back where something appeared to have climbed out, but saw nothing further.

A group camping with horses heard the horses startle something at dusk and then saw a huge brown figure about 6 feet tall running extremely fast across a meadow away from the horses in a cloud of dust. One tethered horse was so frightened it jumped over another horse. The witness concluded the figure could not have been a bear because of the sound it made and the way it ran.
