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.

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
