Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Steve Sanders wrote that when he and two friends, Steve and Allen Pagles, were sleeping in a tent at Blue Lake, upstream from Fish Lake, high on the West side of the Bluff Creek valley about five miles from the Klamath River, Steve heard footfalls outside and saw the shape of a large finger or stick pushing aside the tent flap. He yelled and something crashed away. Next morning the boys found four impressions in pine needle mulch close to an inch deep, 18 inches long and with a 43-inch stride. Then in the dust by the fire pit they found a perfect track, 17" by 7", no arch, toes sloping more steeply than most Bigfoot prints. A heel print 12 feet away drove wood chips deep into the ground, where Steve's father, weight 225 pounds, could hardly make a dent by jumping. Appeared the creature jumped 12 feet when Steve shouted. Bacon and other food on table undisturbed. Fine reddish-brown hairs one to two inches long found on dead branch tip more than 4 feet off ground in creature's path.
