Sasquatch Sightings

Account

This is part of one of the most widely publicized series of reports on record, but they provide few specifics. Mrs. John Utrup reported being chased into her house by the creature at a farm near Dewey Lake, but later she said she had not seen, only heard it. The description police noted down on the morning of June 10 apparently came from John Utrup, who told of seeing the "monster" earlier. Then Gordon Brown, employed on the Harold Utrup farm near by told of seeing the creature several times over a couple of seasons, and said he had seen it between the barn and a shed the same night at Mrs. Utrup, and he and several co-workers tried to trail it, but lost it in the dark. Deputies found a footprint, 18 by 6 in. near the Harold Utrup barn. Three girls claimed to have seen it nearby in daylight June 11. (1129) Their story is not convincing either.
