Bowhunters see tall, dark creature

September 2002 dusk Quilcene, Jefferson County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

While bowhunting with a relative from afternoon into dusk, the witness briefly noticed a tall dark shape moving uphill. Later while walking back toward their ranch, they heard a loud crash and saw something chasing them. They stopped past the ranch gate and watched a tall black figure stare at them for 20-30 seconds before it turned and walked into the brush. Wood knocks and coyote-like sounds were heard that night.
