Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Jon Purcell with others walking in remote part of a friend's property, heard shots beyond a hill. Fearing poachers they went to their jeep for guns, then climbed hill in line abreast. Two thirds up 60-foot hill, a large, heairy, upright creature burst through scrub-oak cover and ran through their line at tremendous speed, brushing Purcell as it went by, then bounding down slope and disappearing in heavy brush. Description: 6.5 feet, near 500 lbs., long arms and legs, completely covered with black hair, half-human half-ape face. Ran two or three times faster than a man. (No location co-ordinates, as 20 miles N.E. of Willows would be right at Chico--better information needed.)
