Class A First-hand BFRO #55451

Homeowner recalls early morning sighting near Malo

10 October 1993 around 6am, just getting light Malo, Ferry County, Washington 1 witness

Account

Around 6 a.m. in dim light the witness was inside her unfinished home when her two outside dogs barked toward the creek crossing on the driveway then ran back to the porch frightened. She looked from the window and saw a very tall, wide, dark hair-covered person-like figure with no apparent neck standing by a tree about 150 feet away. When it seemed to notice her it stepped behind the tree, and when she glanced away to call her husband it was gone. Later that day she and her husband found large footprints and broken branches at the location.
