Woman observes a sasquatch walk up a dock ramp and into the woods on Harstine Island
Account
The witness was staying on a moored boat and took a puppy to the deck in the early morning. Across the water at a lit state-park dock, the witness watched a large dark hairy figure walk up stairs and along a walkway before taking a few long strides into the forest. The observation lasted about 15 seconds and the figure did not react to the barking puppy.
