Class A First-hand BFRO #1602

Sighting by campers

10 June 1995 about 9:00pm and 3:00am Greenwater, Pierce County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two people camping near a ravine heard rhythmic steps and saw a pair of large, long black-haired legs walking across the slope about 30 yards away. The companion moved closer but dense trees prevented a view of the full figure. After relocating their tent near other campers, both were awakened around 3 a.m. by heavy pounding nearby followed by three high shrill screams.
