Man recalls seeing a huge, hair-covered biped standing beside the road at night near Snohomish
Account
Late after midnight the witness was riding home as a passenger while a relative drove. By moonlight and headlights they saw a huge hairy figure standing by a roadside sign, felt eye contact as they passed, then watched it cross the road behind the car and leave on the other side. Both occupants saw it, and the driver offered to turn around but the witness declined.
