Kinderhook, Columbia Cty, New York
Sep 1983
Account
Elderly man stopped at a neighbour's house on Novak Road and had him call Bruce Hallenbeck about an anumal he had seen walk out in front of his car, across the road and into the swamp. By the time Bruce talked to him he said he had only seen a bear, but he had told the neighbour that it was big and black and walked on two legs. Bruce was known as a sasquatch researcher, there would have been no point calling him about a bear.
