Close range daylight encounter involving two young teenage sisters near Fort Lewis
Account
Two sisters had stopped with family in woods for a bathroom break while driving home from a camping trip and were walking back to their truck when they turned to see a large hairy figure leaning against a tree about 20 feet away watching them. They walked quickly back to the truck without running. When the witness grabbed a camera to photograph it, the figure was gone, and their father dismissed the report and told them to leave.
