Very credible (2 witness) daylight sighting of a sasquatch walking along bike trail 60 east of Pittsburgh -- Ghost Town Trail

The witness and a companion were riding bicycles east on a rail-trail when they noticed a large dark figure about 150 yards ahead walking toward them on the trail. The figure noticed them about the same time, left the trail, and walked quickly into the woods. They reported no sound or odor, and a later check for prints found nothing because of heavy leaves.

Nightime sighting by motorist in northern outskirts of Johnstown

In the pre-dawn hours, two relatives driving home saw a small dark upright figure cross the road in front of their car from right to left. The figure was covered in dark hair that shone in the headlights and moved quickly and smoothly, leading the driver to slow to avoid hitting it. Both occupants confirmed they saw the same thing, and the driver declined to stop and was unsettled afterward.
