Friends lost on backroads west of Olympia are stunned by a creature with large green eyes

April 2008 around 11:30pm Mcleary Or Elma-in Between, Grays Harbor County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The occupants of a pickup became lost on logging roads late at night and stopped after the reporter noticed huge glowing eyes ahead. The reporter stared at the eyes and then made out a large black bulky form with massive forearms that stayed motionless in the headlights. The form then moved rapidly up a brushy hillside as the group drove away frightened.
