History

1980: Mount Saint Helens erupts on May 18th. There are many claims that batsquatch was first spotted during the massive eruption, but no actual witnesses or reports have been found yet.
1994: Butch Whittaker claimed to take photos of batsquatch. These photos have never been shared with the public and Whittaker is a self-proclaimed "expert in paranormal activity and unexplained phenomena"; these claims have been largely debunked.
1994: First reported by Brian Canfield, "who claimed that his truck died when he encountered Batsquatch on a road in Pierce County" (news article below).
1998: Anonymous trucker claimed to hit batsquatch. He described a fifteen foot tall creature with small wings.
2009: Hikers near Mount Shasta reported seeing a huge creature "fly out of a crevice in the mountain". (story below).
2011: Phoenix Tieraz reported a large flying creature with "bat wings, blue fur and red glowing eyes".
2014: "A Spanish class at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio spotted a giant black mass zip by the window at incredible speed".

1994 Brian Canfeild Encounter

"It was standing there staring at me, like it was resting, like it didn't know what to think. I was scared, it raised the hair on me. I didn't feel threatened. I just felt out of place. It's looking right at me like in a deep stare, like right through me. It's standing perfectly still. It stood for -how long?- a few minutes. Several minutes. Then its fingers twitched and its wings began to unfold. Those wings were as wide as the road. It turned its head and looked back at me and started flapping its wings. A few minutes later the truck just started. I took off as fast as I could."

2009 Mount Shasta Encounter

Caller: "Me and my friend were hiking around Mt. Shasta and out of one of the crevices, flew out this big creature. I mean this thing was huge. It was as tall as a man, as stocky as Hulk Hogan and had leathery wings. I believe the wing span was at least 50 feet from one end to the other. I was holding up my camera, but was paralyzed with fear as this thing flew by. I didn't get a picture, sorry. What do you think this might be? Could it have been a pterodactyl? It was flying or gliding fast, it seemed to have a head of a bat. Thinking about it, it doesn't have the head of a pterodactyl, I just saw a picture of a pterodactyl and the heads are not similar. I would think it had the head of a bat or maybe more like a fox. The damn thing finally flew into a clump of trees and vanished. I heard you guys might be going back to Mt. Shasta, if you do, please look out for this thing. If you see it, you will xxxx all over yourself, I kid you not."
