Daylight road-crossing sighting by the U.S. Postal Carrier for the town of Quinault Lake (w/ low quality cellphone photos)

14 July 2008 10:00 am Quinault, Grays Harbor County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving a mail route in the morning when he saw an upright figure in the road ahead. As he drove closer the figure walked upright off the road into brush beside a stump, where he took a cell phone photo. He estimated the figure at about seven to eight feet tall, very dark with several-inch-long hair, and said it did not resemble local wildlife he knows well.
