Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Elston Howard, Howdy, Gassaway, 15, late in May saw a patch of fur disappearing in the brush of the ravine behind his home on Schoolhouse Road beside the Patapsco River. Keeping an eye on things, June 3 he thought he saw a large figure in the brush in the back yard and went to investigate. Later he saw a large apelike creature apparently trying to get in the cellar of a neighbour's house some distance away. It darted back in the shadows. Later he saw a large, egg-shaped head stuck up over the dense thicket behind his property, as if the creature was crouched in hiding but looking around periodically. He called his mother, Bessie, and his cousin, Diane Coleman, and all three of them saw the creature stand up and walk through an opening in the back yard before disappearing in heavy brush.
