Class A First-hand BFRO #29055

Young girl recounts two encounters at the family farm near Chehalis

Summer 1978 around 9 pm Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington 6 witnesses

Account

As an 11-year-old the witness was playing piano alone in the living room at night when she felt watched and turned to see a hairy biped looking in through a large picture window. She froze and then screamed, and the creature reacted with surprise and fled on two legs. Her father saw its back as it fled, and relatives in a camper outside also saw it run past toward a field and creek.
