Farmington, San Juan Cty, New Mexico
Jul 1973
Account
No useful information for witness reports. This incident report will do for two creature reports. Information very sketchy, but accuracy not in doubt. In one incident two people saw a sasquatch walking, swinging its arms. In the other one person saw big hairy legs walking, upper body hidden by scrub oak foliage. There were several reports of disturbances around camps, bad odour, frightened dogs, strange calls. Indians really spooked and rangers organizing a massive hung. People told to bring down their flocks and not leave children unattended on the mountains.
