Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Peter Williams was hunting at the foot of the mountain a mile from the Chehalis Reserve when he heard a grunt, looked and saw what he thought was huge bear crouched on a boulder 20 or 30 feet away. As he raised his rifle it stood up and let out a piercing yell. It was a giant at least 6 and a half feet tall, covered with hair. He fled to his canoe, crossed the Chehalis River and ran home. It followed, wading the river but did not come to his house for about 20 minutes, when it pushed against the wall hard enough to damage the old house, prowling and grunting. Then it went away. Huge tracks were found the next day. This informant tells of seeing the same sasquatch the following winter, when it again chased him without catching up. He also tells of seeing two of them in the spring of the following year, while out hunting with another man at the place where he had the first sighting; and a few weeks later says he and his wife saw the original individual on the beach of the Harrison River.
