Incident #1000912
Stella, Cowlitz Cty, Washington
1979
Account
Bill Rosback said he and his wife were driving west on Hwy. 4 about a mile before Stella when they saw a sasquatch, est. 7 to 9 feet, 7 to 800 lbs., step across the guard rail, straddling it as they drove past. Its eyes glowed red with the light as they passed it. After confirming that his wife had seen it too, Rosback turned back to the spot and searched with a flashlight, finding wet tracks 22 x 8 inches, leading up a rock wall by the road.
