Sasquatch Sightings

Account

A few miles east of Watertown, Dennis Smith and Jimmy Slate, both in their late teens, were walking on Overlook Drive shortly after 5 a.m. when they heard shrieking screams and something pounding loudly on a log or tree in the bush behind a house. At 5.45 a.m., the sun just coming up over a hill, they saw a huge black creature standing in the road a couple of city blocks away. Jimmy yelled "Look at that!" and the creature turned completely around, looked at them and then ran down the road, upright, at great speed. Later they and Kevin Best and his father found where something heavy had trampled the grass leading from an open field, across a ditch and up to the road. There were two faint tracks, like human but 15 inches long, 7 inches wide and 6 feet apart. Before that Dennis and Jimmy had seen the creature a second time. (2274)
