Class A First-hand BFRO #13237

Daylight sighting near an abandonned mining chamber near Amigo

12 December 2005 2:40 PM AMGIO (Left Fork Mines), Wyoming County, West Virginia 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving back along a remote mine haul road after collecting a coal sample when two deer ran through the woods. The witness then saw a light-tan biped rise from the ground, make a hand-clapping motion, then kneel and crawl into an abandoned mine opening. A second, very dark biped then ran past and crawled into the same opening. Both disappeared inside the chamber.
