A Louisiana woman says she recently stumbled upon a sizeable bipedal creature lurking on her property, and the encounter seemingly sent the mysterious interloper, thought to be Sasquatch, running. The witness, who opted to remain anonymous, recounted the remarkable moment in a report to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. According to the woman, the possible Sasquatch sighting occurred on the evening of Tuesday, April 14th, near the community of Westlake.
While walking along a trail to retrieve a hay bale she had inadvertently dropped from a bulkhead on her property, the woman turned a corner and "saw a very large dark thing standing upright." It would appear that she startled the mysterious figure as it immediately "took off, crashing through vines and palmettos." The witness observed that the interloper "turned north west and crossed through waist-deep water." Although it was difficult to see the creature as it made its escape, the woman stressed that it moved in a fashion that left her no doubt that it was moving on two feet.
"I have lived back here many years," she mused, "and know the difference between deer and hogs moving in the water," suggesting that what appeared on her property earlier this month was not one of those prosaic animals. Adding one last bit of weirdness to the incident, the woman noted that her pets, as well as those of her neighbors, were all "behaving differently" in the days leading up to the sighting, with "outside cats trying to get inside" and dogs seemingly sensing an unknown presence on the property.
