Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Frank Bond, fishing on French Creek about three miles from the Salmon River, saw two silver-grey, hair-covered giants stand up from behind a huge rock beside the creek. One was obviously female, with large breasts, and about 7 feet tall. The other was about a foot taller. He threw his string of fish towards them and fled, but returned with his fishing partner and their wives later in the day and found two indistinct 14-inch footprints, in forest duff, near the rock. They also noted an odor like decaying flesh or a den of snakes. The string of fish was gone. Two weeks later Wayne Twitchell, a former government trapper, found six silver-grey hairs, both guard hairs and wool hairs, in a 20- minute bush-by-bush, tree-by-tree search at the site, 2.5 feet above the ground, and six or seven feet from where Bond said he saw the creatures. These hairs were sent to Ray Pinker, head of the Dept. of Criminology, California State College, Los Angeles, who reported that he had no hairs in his collection to match them, and that they had a scale pattern similar to human, but varied in colour from root to tip an tapering, uncut tips like animal hairs, and had an unusual "patterned medulla" (intermittent core).
