Incident #1000632
Riverside, California
Jul 1976
Account
Richard Brandt, 9, and Mike Grant, 10, saw a tall hairy "big ape" in the Santa Anna River bottoms near their homes. At this point the bottom is boggy, and about two miles wide, with a creek in the middle. There are sink holes and quicksand. Guttilla talked to both boys, separately, and thinks they did see a sasquatch.
