Daylight sighting by motorists near Humptulips

9 September 2004 11:00AM Humptulip, Grays Harbor County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was driving north with three companions when the two occupants in the front seat watched a large figure run across the road from right to left and disappear into dense woods and brush. A passenger in the back seat saw the figure only as it entered the brush. The front-seat witnesses described uniform coloration, very big running strides, and a forward-hunched posture, and said it never looked toward them.
