Account
Frank Hudson says that while following its tracks, which he does not describe, he came face to face with a sasquatch. He tried to talk to it, and gave the Indian peace sign, with no result, and they stared at each other for several minutes, then it turned and walked away. Hudson said his severe deafness was cured immediately during the encounter, a cure that lasted about 7 months.
