Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Twenty or thirty highschoolers from Shorline School District #412 and half dozen teachers, on 12-day field trip to ocean, Northwest Olympic Peninsula. Walking South from day trip to Cape Avala half the students crossed a small, shallow stream flowing into ocean, and about 300 yards beyond stopped to wait for others. Saw black, hairy, bipedal creature come out of trees about 65 yards from the water, and moved about half that distance partially bent over looking and sometimes reaching into the stream. Shouted to other group as they came in sight, and creature stood straight up, very tall, and turned and strode back into the woods. Teachers would not let students check site, and insisted it was just a bnaked black man, which alomst no one believed. On later hikes experienced a lot of rocks falling in front of or behind the group and often heard heavy crashes in the woods which teachers claimed were dead trees falling naturally. Once encountered a horrendous smell, but nothing accompanying it.
