Class A First-hand BFRO #3022

Nighttime encounter with campers near Duchesne, in Timber Canyon

September 1977 dusk, almost dark Duchesne, Wasatch County, Utah 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative were fishing and camping in a narrow willow canyon at dusk and noticed unusual silence and a feeling of being watched. While sitting by a fire, the companion stared toward the road and the witness then saw a tall dark hairy face peering through willows about 30-40 feet away. The figure then crashed through the creek and willows up the hillside out of sight, after which the pair left hastily.
