A thrilling firsthand account of a Sasquatch encounter has been shared on The Sasquatch Encounter Brigade YouTube channel. In the video, titled "Rick Tells the Story of His Sasquatch Encounter Near Amicalola Falls," Rick, a 66-year-old disabled veteran and former police officer, recounts his chilling experience from his childhood in Marble Hill, Georgia. Rick's story begins a year before his encounter, when a game warden near the Amicalola River had a terrifying experience with a large, hairy creature. This story was well-known in the area, and it set the stage for Rick's own encounter a year later. While spotlighting with three friends, Rick and his companions came across a buck and two does that were frozen in place. As they approached, they heard a loud crack, which Rick describes as sounding like a branch being snapped in half. When he looked around, he saw something that was neither a bear nor a man. It took a step down into the road and then disappeared into the woods. The group then heard heavy footsteps approaching, and the deer they had been observing bolted. Whatever was making its way toward them continued to do so, even as Rick and his friends made their way back to their car. As they were leaving, they saw something large and dark moving in the woods near an oak tree. Rick describes it as being incredibly wide, with a torso visible between its arm and body. The group was understandably shaken, and Rick's excitement is palpable as he recounts the story. His encounter is a fascinating firsthand account that is sure to intrigue any Sasquatch enthusiast.
