Account
Tom Deane and wife driving a few miles East of Sumter about 1.30 a.m., saw a small sasquatch, apelike, about 5 feet tall, start across the road, then stop in the middle and look at their car. It then jumped to the other side into a swamp and was gone. Had long hair on arms and legs and around face. Dark brown and quite silky. Walking gait not like a man or like a monkey, would be hard to imitate.
