Account

The witness and the witness's wife were driving west on Upper Hoh Road after visiting the Hoh Rain Forest. Near the Hoh River they watched a tall, dark-haired biped emerge from woods on the north side, cross the road in three strides, and disappear into woods on the south side. They stopped at the crossing spot and noted dense forest with no trail.
