Class B First-hand BFRO #12405

Happy Camp local named Tara claims multiple observations. She is not credible

2003–2005 around one-thirty in the morning Old Northern California Mining Camp,, Siskiyou County, California 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness noticed the apple tree at the far corner of the yard shaking violently. After a brief check with a night-vision scope that revealed nothing, the witness looked again and saw the upper portion of a tall, hairy, human-like figure walking toward the creek past tall berry bushes. The figure was backlit by a neighboring porch light, showing a large rounded head on very large rounded shoulders with little neck.
