Sierra Sasquatch writes “One day I get a message from Donato questioning my research and tells me of his childhood encounter.
We email each other back and forth when I realize that where he had his encounter was not far from where I had recently cast tracks. I ask him to meet with me and to draw pictures of the face of the individual he had seen. We meet and talk with one another and he tells me all about his encounter in detail. He takes me to the site where he had his encounter and it was then that I realize how close he was to the tree cross marking I had discovered.
The distance between his sighting and the tree is about 300-400 yards away, I can actually see the tree from where he stood at his sighting. He draws a picture of a being that resembles a man but has ape features. He states that he did not feel threatened but was frightened. He tells me of how its thumbs looked which resembled humans but were anatomically different. I show him some castings and his eyes light up, he states that “these are the feet that I had seen”. It was the individual twitching its ankle that had caught his eye. The following is the interview that ensued.”
