An Appalachian Range backpacker was camped near Fuller Lake, PA. While fishing in a creek nearby he encountered a reddish-haired, foul-odored Sasquatch walking through the woods and field.
“Last May 2022 me and a few friends went backpacking in the Appalachian Range of Pennsylvania. We started our trip in George Washington National Forest, Virginia, and eventually ended in Sussex County, New Jersey. Most of the hike was along the Appalachian Trail.
We had set up camp in the early afternoon in Pine Grove Furnace State Park near Fuller Lake. We each brought weapons for protection against bears or whatever may have shown up
Anyway, as it got closer to the evening at around 5 pm, I was fishing in a creek about a quarter mile away from camp and I started to smell something bad. I couldn't describe the odor, it was just bad. I heard some rustling in the bushes about 200 yards away. It was quite clear that it was footsteps from the sound. Almost thinking that it was one of my friends, I realized that they were south of me, so I started to panic. Whatever it was was getting closer to my fishing spot and the smell started getting stronger. My fishing pole was in my left hand and my right hand was on my gun as I was getting ready to unholster it. I couldn't get over the smell, but at the same time, I was worried about my life.
I kept my eyes focused in the direction of the loud footsteps. I can see a big open area kind of like a pasture about 50 yards away which is where the footsteps are coming from. I see what I think is a man in a possible reddish brown ghillie suit walking behind the trees on the edge of the open area, but the problem is that it was about 2 or 3 feet taller than me as I'm only 6'2, which was unbelievable. None of my friends are close to my height, but that thing that I saw was built. I can see the muscle movement of its legs. I'm no expert on Sasquatch, but I do know what I saw was no bear as it was walking on two legs (not in any way that I've seen). Both the legs and the arms are primitive and built like an oversized gorilla. The thing probably weighed about 900 pounds.
It ended up vanishing as it went to my right in the deeper woods, but after the footsteps stopped, I heard what sounded like chatter (kind of like some sort of native Indian language). After the chatter stopped, the footsteps started up again, but it was footsteps going in one direction and another sound of footsteps going in the opposite direction.
I never told my friends about the experience because I didn't want them to think that I was crazy. Some people might be skeptical about this, but I know what I saw and heard wasn't in the ordinary.” S
