William Jevning is a researcher of Sasquatch, otherwise known as Bigfoot. He is also author of several books on the subject including Notes from the Field, Tracking North America’s Sasquatch.

Then one evening in 1974, my collie began barking furiously toward the nearby tree line near my home. I grabbed one of my .22 rifles thinking a raccoon or some other animal that had been eating my sisters cat's food was nearby; my father said some animals might have distemper and not allow them near the house as they might infect our pets. With this in mind I took my dog and headed toward the tree line. No sooner than my dog reached the edge of the forest, he froze, then turned quickly and ran at top speed past me toward our house; there he sat on the porch shivering like he was scared to death. I had never seen him react that way, he wo
