Sasquatch sighting near Carroll County (2013)

The guest and his wife joined other researchers for an overnight investigation of a private property where the owner reported pounding and odd signs.

The guest watched a large upright figure sway between trees through night vision, saw it reappear squatting, then lose it as it moved over a ridge. The next morning the team found trampled vegetation where the figure had stood and noted they had audio of the event.
