A listener writes “I am 51 years old, between 1977 and 1979 when I was 9 – 11 years old just as it was getting dark, I saw something walk across the railroad tracks into the woods, near my childhood home located in the hills of Cattaraugus County, in New York, it was very tall (from what I remember it was much taller than my dad and my dad is around 6′ 1″) it was completely covered in reddish fur, it had long arms.
I think it saw me, but didn’t seem to care. I was not afraid at the time although I don’t know why, I also heard a scream in the middle of the night a couple days later that I believed was the same thing I saw cross the tracks. I ran into my moms bedroom because at the time I thought it was the end of the world. She woke up after it had stopped and said that I just thought I was going to hear something and I imagined it. I have been fascinated with sasquatch ever since. I have heard the same scream on one of your podcasts that sounded exactly the same, that made my stomach drop.
I have not seen or heard anything since and no one believes me of course, I wouldn’t believe it either. I know it’s not an exciting encounter, thankfully. I just wanted to share my experience with someone who would believe me. Thanks for what you do, I enjoy listening to others experiences on Sasquatch Chronicles.”
