Incident #1001241
Prescott, Yavapai Cty, Arizona
1975
Account
Clyde Fulcher had been prospecting around Yarnell since 1911, but never saw anything, sasquatchwise, until 1975, when he had two sightings in two days. First he noticed an apelike animal running after his jeep on a rough dirt road, stopped and got out to look at it, at which it seemed quite frightened and ran away, off the road and down into a small ravine. The next day, in the hills again, he happened to look up on the side of a mountain and saw a huge apelike creature lumbering along, arms swinging, extending below its knees. He watched until it disappeared around the mountain.
