Sasquatch sighting near Inyo County (1871)

Teamsters camping by a lake reported a ghost-like naked figure stealing scraps and plunging into the water when spoken to or shot at. In fall 1871 men saw it clearly as a large hairy man eating scraps. Investigators later found a cave with rags, bones, and a dead naked man.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
