On November 10, 2008, an eyewitness named Bob came out of his house, turned to get into his van and saw a Sasquatch walk across his neighbors yard toward the woods behind his home. He described the creature as being 8 feet tall and appeared to be around 400 pounds, reddish brown in color with a conical shaped head. No odors or sounds were experienced. The creature acted as if he was not there but was moving like he startled it. Bob's wife has heard something around the outside of the house at previous times.
Since receiving this report, team members of Sasquatch Watch of VA have been conducting field investigations on a regular basis. Below is a post of activities to date.
___________
Date: 12/07/08 2:00 pm
Location: Catharpin
Weather: Clear, Windy and Cold
Investigators: Billy Willard and Charlie Polizzi
On the above time and date, the two listed investigators walked the property at the Catharpin site. We found an area at the edge of the field just into the woods where it appeared that something large had laid down in some grass, matting it down. (possibly a deer)
We also found several old tree twists in that area, which Billy photographed. (Likely created by growing vines)
The complainant Bob had nothing new to report except that some ducks had been killed, presumably by a fox, and he said he saw a shadow pass by his window one evening, however he could not be sure what it was that passed by.

Date: 12/14/08
Weather: Clear/cold
Investigators: Billy Willard and Charlie Polizzi
On the above date the above two investigators returned to the Catharpin site and spoke with Bob. Bob had nothing new to report except on 12/11/08 at approx 6pm he had just returned home from work and he heard what sounded like a howl with a whoop on the end of it coming from a wooded area to the right of his residence.
The above two investigators walked the property and place an IR Trail Camera up in a wooded area to the right of Bob's residence near a small ravine that leads down to a stream. The camera will be left there for a week, and will be re-located to another area of the property.

Date: 12/21/08
Weather: Clear/cold
Investigators: Billy Willard and Charlie Polizzi
On the above date the above two investigators returned to the Catharpin site and checked the trail camera we had placed to the right of the residence. We found the camera had taken four (4) photos, the first was a test photo of Billy. The other photos were night photos taken between 12/14 and 12/21.
The memory card was removed from the camera and given to Billy for further study, a new memory card and batteries were placed in the camera and the camera was relocated to a new area behind the residence along the stream.
We walked the property and observed several stick structures which did not appear to be natural. Billy photographed them with his cell phone. We also located an area which appeared to be the site of another chicken kill. The Complainant, Bob had nothing new to report.
