Father remembers fishing with his son, appearing to be observed by a sasquatch which is later sighted on the far side of the lake near McKenna

The witness and a companion were fishing from the bank of a small lake when they heard careful, bipedal-sounding footsteps moving through the woods behind them from one side to the other. After a while they watched a very tall, broad-shouldered, hair-covered biped walk out into a grassy area on the far side of the lake. The creature walked slightly stooped, with long hair waving as it moved, and then disappeared from view.

Recollection of a road crossing at dusk while working as an MP on Fort Lewis

While driving in a truck at twilight, the witness and a companion watched a large upright furry figure cross the road in a few long strides and disappear into the trees at the road edge. After stopping and getting out, they heard movement ahead in the woods, then a loud scream, and ran back to the truck while wailing continued behind them. They agreed they had encountered a bigfoot and returned the next day to find broken limbs but no footprints.
