Second-hand report of creature looking in at woman through window

About two decades ago a woman washing dishes at night saw a large hairy-faced man looking through the window above her sink. Police were called and during the subsequent search an officer saw a tall man-like figure run across a highway. Very large tracks with a long stride were found but dogs could not track anything and the figure vanished into river bottoms. A later visitor examined a cast and said weight distribution argued against a fake shoe.

Sasquatch sighting (1995)

While riding a motorcycle toward Canada the witness stopped at a highway pull-off to urinate and walked a short distance into level woods. He smelled a strong musk he recognized from earlier years and then made eye contact with a small young hair-covered creature peering over a log. The young one ducked quickly out of sight. The witness backed out without approaching further because he had left his sidearm at the bike.
