User Submitted Cryptid Sighting: Sasquatch
Name: Rick Granger
Age: 32
Number of witnesses: 4
Location of Sighting: Pikes Peak, Colorado
Date of sighting: August 4, 2022
What you believe the creature was: Sasquatch
Message: “I was hiking up the peak with my friends, like we'd done so many times before, and we heard a low rumbling sound. The air smelled rotten, as if something had died nearby. We heard a rustling in the bushes and saw a tall brown primate-looking creature run into the woods. We gave chase, but unfortunately we didn't find the strange being. It didn't seem afraid of us, simply afraid of being seen.”
