Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Jay Barker and his sons Brent, 12, and Danny, 6, and Larry Beeson and his sons Scott, 14, Michael, 11, and David, 5, and Paul Carling, 14, looked down from a ridge in the Uinta Mtns. and saw half a mile away and 1000 feet below an animal down on all fours drinking from a small lake. Some rocks rolled down from the ridge and the animal stood up on its hind legs and looked at them, then turned and walked off on two legs, in sight for about half a mile among scattered trees before it disappeared in heavy timber. They climbed down where it had been, and from trees and rocks at the site estimated that it must have been 10 feet high. They found large, shallow, "pawlike" marks by the lake, but no clear imprints. The creature looked somewhat like a gorilla, with long arms, not much of a neck, hunched shoulders. It walked fast, with arms swinging, looking back a couple of times when they shouted at it. Following its route in the trees they found a rabbit carcass, completely skinned and half eaten. Location was between Pass Lake and Cuberant Basin, six miles from Pass Lake, at the head of the Weber River drainage. Also near Fish Lake. (Lakes and basin not on any available map).
