Sasquatch Sightings

Account

This entry combines three reports over a period of three weeks. State road workers reported a strange beast crossing a highway, and later parties noortheast of Alton reported something in the woods that walked like a man. Then Lewis Botha, two miles out of town on Greer Road said his children saw it, he rode out and got within 50 yards. It was upright, covered with brown hair and had a face something like a monkey. When he tried to ride closer it ran off in thick brush. No indication of size, but story calls it a wild man, ape or gorilla.
