Daughter and Mother both observe a large dark creature in the Klamath River bottom
Account
While driving north on the highway, the witness and a companion saw a large dark hairy biped moving quickly from under a bridge toward the highway embankment. The witness watched for about 30 to 45 seconds as it took large steps with long arms swinging before reaching bushes by the road. They did not stop out of fear, and the companion reported only a very brief glimpse of a tall dark figure.
