Sasquatch Sightings

Account

John Parsons states that he and Woody Simmons were on a deer hunting trip on Cole Mountain Rd. off Hwy 53 near Wheeler when their parked trailer was shaken at night, and next morning they found two humanlike footprints 24 inches by 10 inches, two inches deep, in an abandoned orchard where they could scarcely make an impression. That evening Parsons found three other tracks crossing an abandoned road at an angle, with a stride of at least 6 feet. They were 14 inches by 6 inches and had only three toes, large and all the same size. They were 3/4 of an inch deep in damp, firm soil where human tracks made no impression. That night about 10 p.m. Parsons showed another hunter the huge tracks in the orchard, and on the way back they came upon 14-inch prints with 5 toes, which had not been there when they went out. The next morning, about 2 a.m., Parsons went outside his camper and saw a humanlike figure standing in the moonlight 50 feet way. He watched it about a minute, but when he turned to find a flashlight it disappeared. It had been standing by a tree branch, from which a total height of 7 feet 8 inches was calculated. This incident report covers only the sighting and the tracks found nearby earlier the same night. See also 1001082
