Class A First-hand BFRO #7441

Forest worker has many encounters with bigfoot

7 July 1997 about 11:00 a.m. South Kingston, Kitsap County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two forestry workers resurveying a remote allotment for a timber harvest reported being followed at a distance while smelling a heavy stench. During a break they heard large movement in the brush, threw a piece of wood toward the sound, and then saw the backlit shadows of four hair-covered figures behind bushes in a break of sunlight. The witness described two large males standing motionless, a thin female with a hump who vocalized and wrung her hands, and a smaller child-sized figure, before the light faded and the pair left the area to finish work later.
