Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Sam Sherry had gone to fish in Loyalhanna Creek near Rte 30, at 11.30 p.m. When he got out of his car he noticed vocalizations coming from a wooded area, shrill whistles, grunts and monkey-like chattering, also noise of branches breaking. He shined his flashlight there and saw glowing orange eyes, then suddenly at the edge of the woods 20 feet away he was looking at a tall, dark, bipedal creature that he guessed weighed 600 pounds. The two of them stood looking at each other for a quarter hour. After several minutes the creature started swinging its arms, beating its chest and flexing it muscles. Sam noticed an uncomfortable, musty odour. After a few minutes the display stopped, and a few minutes later Sam returned to his car. Suddenly the creature was beside him, it brushed up against his elbow and felt the back of his jacket. When he got in the car it put its hands on the bottom the window, pressing the side of the car down. Then it leaned in through the window and showered spit on Sam as it wheezed. He drove away. The creature had wrinkled, leather-like skin, and aside from some strips of hair on its head was basically hairless. It had a flat nose, small ears, no brow ridge, no discenable neck, broad shoulders and a long, waistless torso. Its feet had five toes and looked somewhat human like. It had five fingers and a thumb. Its breathing was very loud and heavy as if asthmatic. The skin on the body was reddish brown and leatherlike, with some light grey patches. Sam had the impression that it was very old.
