Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Lewis Crow was fishing along the Klamath River east of Happy Camp when he heard something go through the brush from the river. He ran to try for a look at it, and saw it in a fairly clear area 100 yards away. It was 6 1/2 to 7 feet tall, upright with a slight forward stoop, covered with fur of a light to dark mottled brown. Face relatively free from hair, looked apelike but with a more protruding muzzle. After it disappeared in heavy brush he went back to the river and found tracks still wet coming out of the river. They were about 23 inches by 9 inches, with a narrow heel and toes twice as long as human toes. Farther along the river, in dry, loose sand, he found other tracks, one set about 15 to 18 inches, another slightly larger and wider than the first. They went to and from the river. (Location was given as 20 miles East of Happy Camp, but the river leaves the road only at one place in that general area, by Seiad Valley, 30 miles by road from Happy Camp, but 11 miles in a straight line.)
