Class A First-hand BFRO #76611

Memory told of almost running over a hair covered man-like figure laying in the road at night near Doty

19 January 2007 about 7pm, dark and raining Doty, Lewis County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving west on Highway 6 at night in rain when his high beams revealed a hair-covered, ape-like figure lying face-down in his lane. He braked and swerved into the oncoming lane to avoid hitting it as it pushed up with its arms and turned to look toward him. He described jet-black wet hair hanging over its face, a chimp-like nose and mouth, and large limbs, estimating it was the size of a large man.
