Class A First-hand BFRO #1749

Three brownish figures seen moving on nearby foothill

August 1977 about 3:00 pm Deming, Whatcom County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and two companions were talking on a porch in the afternoon when they noticed three brownish figures moving on a nearby foothill for about ten minutes. They walked to the spot after the figures left and found a heap of branches resembling a bed, with some branches torn from trees high off the ground. The witness noted an absence of claw marks or bear prints and questioned how the branches could have been placed without tools.
