Class B First-hand BFRO #12594

Possible beach sighting at night by a tourist near Point Brown

21 August 2005 about 1:30 a.m. Ocean Shores, Grays Harbor County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was tending a beach fire after midnight when he noticed a dark bipedal figure walking south along the waterline in full moonlight. He ran to intercept it but could not catch up as it moved very quickly toward the jetty, then turned to face the ocean, arched its back and appeared to look back at him before disappearing near the jetty shadows. No tracks were recoverable because high-tide waves covered the waterline.
