While constructing "fort," young teenager has afternoon sighting in Amboy off Rotschy Road

February 1993 around 12:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Amboy, Clark County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

When about 13, the witness was building a fort in the woods with a sibling when loud noise with breaking branches and barking dogs drew attention. About 250-300 yards away on a hillside, the witness saw three dogs chasing a gorilla-like figure moving on two legs with large striding steps. The sibling heard the commotion but did not see the figure. The witness later told relatives but says few believed the account.
