Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Searls and Mr. and Mrs. D. Cowdell, driving to Lake Tahoe, two thirds of the way up the Kingsbury Grade at 8.30 p.m., came around a turn and saw a black animal in a depression off the shoulder of the road. Thought it was a black bear until they got closer and it stood erect. As the car passed it walked quickly into the brush, but turned once to look at them. Seven to eight feet tall, face flat, hair shiny. All four saw it, and they reported to the sheriff's office at Zephyr Cove, where they were told that two very frightened girls had reported a similar sighting.
