Incident #1000521
Stockton, San Joaquin Cty, California
1968
Account
Dan Riddle said that when he was 13 in 1968 when he was an inmate of a juvenile detention camp near Stocton, a sasquatch smashed a window above his bunk, waking him and other kids. All rushed in panic to the counsellor's room at the front of the building, went to the door and watched a 9-foot, hair-covered long-legged creature, arms swinging to and fro, leap from the side of the bunkhouse and stride through the lighted yard into the darkness.
