Account
Mountain biking in Monte Sano state park, on small mountain called Panther Knob, Zac Simpson was resting when he heard someone coming up the hill, then smelled a foul odour. Went to edge of slope and was face to face with 7-foot, reddish brown sasquatch walking up the hill 30 to 40 feet away. Backed away, it saw him, let out unearthly scream, turned and ran down the hill, disappearing in the forest.
