Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Paula Owens writes that at 3 a.m. she was gagged by a terrible smell, looked out the window into their back woods where there was a space of light between the trees and saw two figures dart by. Light may have been neighbours' outside light. One figure had long flowing light-coloured hair and huge arms, as it chased the other figure, apparently in play. Wakened husband, Bill, who looked out and saw two different creatures at another spot. The seemed to be picking at a cherry tree. The creatures had round, glowing eyes spaced far apart. Witnesses thought they might have seen more eyes in the trees. Watched intermittently, at least one creature, with black, long but short-clipped hair (sic), still there. It nodded at them, up and down and from side to side, then went down the road to the Carbon River on all fours. Jon Beckjord, who interviewed the witnesses, gives the sizes as 7 feet, 6.6 feet and two slender, 4 to 5 feet, and says the big ones walked with a stoop. Neighbours had a mercury vapour lamp. Eyes' "dull glow" may have reflected Owens' small porch lamp
