Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Lance Barnett wrote a report stating that he, 17, Joe, 27, Craig, 17, Bruce, 15 and Kevin, 14, climbed up Gold Creek valley to a 2,000 foot pass leading to Pitt Lake. He said they observed an alder sapling with the top partially broken off and twisted around, as if with hands, and about noon found a hollow of crushed ferns. Going down to the creek Joe, in the lead, saw on the far slope among the trees a large furry animal, not a bear. He later said he thought it had to be a burnt stump, but on a second look it was gone. He did not mention it until after fresh 13-inch tracks were found in forest litter and dirt at the top of a bank a short time later. Bruce than found a print in moss that was 18 inches long. Tracks were photographed and look quite good. Going on through the pass they found many tracks, old and new, in moss, dirt and snow. Returning three days later (to photograph the tracks) they found some more, and found still more a year later.
