Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Eldon Siepert phoned to tell of experiences logging and road building near Paskenta, Cal., in the summers of 1965 and 66, with (I think) Marvin Coleman Construction, working out of Proberta, and going 30 to 50 miles back in the Coast Range. Their road ran through a canyon between two mountains. Tracks 13 to 17 inches long were seen on the road every few days. He saw some himself. Prints were about three walking steps apart. There was a missing toe or deformity on the left foot. The tracks ended at the creek bank. Several men told of seeing a large, dark, hairy creature that always ran erect. The water wagon driver saw it in the twilight or early morning. One man took a shot at it and a lot carried guns in their trucks. Animals were found torn apart and partly eaten, and feces were found containing remains of berries or nuts. When Seipert phoned, date not recorded, he was no longer logging, but in the real estate business. (Since many incidents were involved this report will be entered twice, to cover the different months, years and times of day, and to give different credibility ratings for the tracks and the sightings.) ran.
