Class A First-hand BFRO #42395

Motorist sees a large hairy biped cross the road at dusk in Spanaway

10 October 2012 around 6 pm, just before dusk Spanaway, Pierce County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness stopped at a T-intersection at dusk and watched a tall, dark, hair-covered biped emerge from woods on the left and walk across the two-lane road into forest on the other side without looking toward her. She was frightened, remained at the sign for a few minutes, and did not take a photo. She did not check for footprints and told only a relative much later.
