Daylight sighting by residents near Yakima River
Account
When the witness was about ten in the 1960s, the witness and three other children went into thick woods near the river to feed cows at a pond. About 30 feet away a tall hairy figure stepped into full view from a clearing, took one long step, and disappeared behind a bush. The children ran home and were not believed.
