Copy of my post about the Sasquatch sighting.
I posted this comment to radio host Clyde Lewis of Ground Zero about an episode he did involving his sighting and it struck me enough to tell him about mine.
"Thank you, Clyde. I play back your shows on the weekend. You said something I've never heard anyone else say in your encounter of Sasquatch. It matches the seared-in-my-mind details from mine. "It had the face like a pug dog". Pushed in nose, wide wrinkled cheeks and big eyes that in my case glowed back at me from the tail lights of the car I was in. To this day I am unnerved by that breed's face. The sighting occurred in '83 at 2am on a gravel crop road near the Ohio river. I and two friends riding in a corvair with nothing to do at 25 mph when something charged out of the corn stalks at the driver's door. The driver, Pat instinctively gunned the gas. I was in the back seat and had the full view in the back window. It crossed the road in 3 steps! The hair made it blurry but it turned to me and stared so I saw the face. It darted into the corn on the opposite side and we were gone. But it's the after effect that holds the gravity of the sighting. The three of us sat in the car, driving, not saying a word for 2 minutes. We never said ANYTHING of what we saw. 30 years later, I spoke to the driver about it and he was still afraid to detail what happened. As humans we have a deep instinct to deny and avoid what we can't explain and won't accept. I never questioned what I saw because no one would set up a hoax in a place and time where nobody would be. So you and I share a truth that the rest of the world is not ready to accept."
