Modern Witness
James (Storm)
Direct long-form testimony from James (who goes by Storm), describing a late-night encounter near Lake Robinson after Hurricane Helene in which he reported a strong musky odor, large movement in roadside vegetation, and a scream he says he physically felt in his chest. He did not report seeing a creature.

Profile overview
What is documented
The recovered episode description places the encounter around 1:00–1:40 a.m. on September 30, 2024, on McElhenney Road near Lake Robinson in the Greer area of upstate South Carolina. James describes widespread power outages after Hurricane Helene, a strong musky odor, heavy movement through brush and low limbs, and a powerful scream. He says he was familiar with local wildlife from prior hunting experience and did not recognize the sound.
Developing Witness Record
This page preserves recoverable firsthand testimony. Publication does not mean the Observatory has established that a Sasquatch caused the reported activity.

Current limitations
No visual observation, recording, physical trace, independent witness, or recovered contemporaneous report has been established in the current source set. SRO is therefore preserving this as a developing witness and media record rather than publishing a standalone case page.
