Boy observes sasquatch on hillside near Orting witnessed in Pierce County, Washington

Open Map

Recently my 10 year old grandson, Brenden, told me of a sighting he had when he was about six years old. My husband Dana and I had been on one of the first episodes of "Mysterious Encounters". My son and ten year old grandson had come over to watch the tape with us. Brenden had heard us talking about Bigfoot before but having never seen a picture of one, he did not know what they looked like. I put the tape in and as it showed the first picture of a Bigfoot Brenden turned to me and said, "Grandma, I've seen one of those". Stunned, I paused the tape and asked him about it. He was living in Orting, WA. at the time beside a small creek, which ran parallel to the Puyallup River. It ran along the base of the hill that the old Soldiers cemetery is on. It is a wooden area with a lot of deciduous trees. Some fir, and brush. He said it happened when he was about six years old. He had crossed the creek and was starting to climb up the hill. He heard a noise and looked up to see it...
