Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Two boys playing outside at their ranch, located between the Yakima Indian Reservation and the Columbia River, not far from The Dalles, towards Mount Adams. Older boy, Mike, thought he saw a bear among the scrub oaks on the hillside, ran in house for .22 rifle. When he got back the creature had moved closer. It was upright, 8 or 9 feet tall, no neck and a flat face. It turned to run and he fired one shot, which he believes hit shoulder. Mother went out later and saw three sets of large, round, yellow-green eyes some distance from the house, and saw something large moving in the shadows. Creatures seen occasionally in the yard in following months. Horses injuring themselves running into barbed wire fences. Doberman dogs acting panicky. Typical 5-toed sasquatch prints occasionally found in the yard. Eventually people and domestic animals all lost their fear. Mother says the creatures are mimics, and will answer whistle with whistle, and imitate birds and animals. No screams or growls. Strong sulphur smell at times. Thumps on house and scratching on screens followed by sound of heavy running feet. Once a big black face peering in the window--leaning down from above into the upper edge of a window seven feet high at the top. Food left out for them not taken. A spring in the back yard of the ranch is the only water source within a mile during dry periods. No adult males at the ranch in this period.
