Class A First-hand BFRO #423

Daylight sighting by fisherman near Easton, Washington

October 2000 about 1pm Easton, Kittitas County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two people driving north on a forest road in daylight saw a large black figure walking on the shoulder toward them. They described it as bulky with huge limbs, moving with a swagger, and showing no discernible features. They stopped and backed up as it moved into the woods near the shoulder, moved branches, then returned to the shoulder and walked toward them again. They left the area, and a later return found no sign of it.
