Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Several boys returned to scene of earlier sighting (Incident 1000293) more than once. David Churchill dates this incident the first night after. Dennis Taylor tape indicates it was the second night. Taylor says the creatures, (three seen one night) came through a cut from the higher ground to the south each night and went down to the river. They could be heard walking on the loose rocks. The youths, once as many as 13, would try to ambush them on the way back, with whatever hunting rifles, etc. they could bring. On this occasion, (combining two accounts that don't mesh exactly) two creatures had come down, and Taylor and Churchill found one crouched under the low limbs of a large tree. Churchill shot it twice, with a 12-guage shotgun from about 10 feet away, and it rolled over twice, got up and ran through a 4-strand wire fence, taking out three posts. Next morning took pictures of the tree and the broken fence. Tried to follow tracks and blood droppings, but managed only 100 yards. Location is given as Trates Point, gravel pit area. Churchill filled out another computer form for another sighting the same night, about 4.30 a.m. Taylor tells of later sightings, stopping only when one of the creatures came up close behind a group of youths who were not aware of it until it made a noise leaving. After that they stayed away.
