Recollection of a daytime bike path crossing in front of three youths near Columbia

Three children walking and biking on a wooded bike path near a lake in the afternoon watched a thin grey-haired biped step out of the woods, cross the path, and enter the woods on the other side.

Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2000)

They saw no animal after stopping and heard no further crashing, concluding it must have been a Sasquatch moving at full speed downhill.

She described it as much taller than a person, lean and muscular, covered in dark hair with little facial hair and wearing no clothes.

Two witnesses see a sasquatch crossing forest road near Wilsons Mills in daylight
