Class B First-hand BFRO #30670

Night time foot race with an unseen animal near Woodinville

July 2009 around 1 in the morning, moonless night Bothell/Woodinville, Snohomish County, Washington 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness walked home alone along a familiar wooded trail and heard something moving parallel in the brush, breathing heavily. When the witness stopped the sounds stopped, and when walking resumed the follower kept pace. The witness ran toward home and the follower pursued onto gravel and pavement on two feet while making low growls and calls and trying to cut the witness off. At the house the witness's dog confronted the unseen pursuer, which halted very close before withdrawing into the brush.
