Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Robert France hunts rattlesnakes on Chestnut Ridge above Hillside. This day he was walking on top of the ridge in high Mountain Laurel and could hear somethng moving in time with him, so he left the ridge and started down into the valley, then he saw a huge figure, back lighted by the setting sun, standing off to the side of a trail with its hands resting on a large rock. It came within 10 feet but then turned and disappeared in the thicket. There was an unpleasanat smell. That night in his tent he heard what he assumed was the same creature moving around outside. France claims several later sightings, as well as several track finds on Chestnut Ridge and in Potter County, and has photos from Chestnut Ridge and a cast from near Trout Run. (2482 2483)
