Sasquatch sighting near Clay County

The guest's grandfather was working cutting railroad ties in West Virginia early one morning when brush began shaking violently. A very tall, hairy creature emerged and screamed at the crew, towering over the grandfather. The crew fled to get a supervisor and on returning found only very large footprints, described as twice the grandfather's foot length. The experience reportedly disturbed the grandfather enough that he moved his family to Ohio.
