Boy scout observes large brown animal on two legs run by him

Summer 1985 about 11 a.m. on a sunny day Spokane, Spokane County, Washington

Account

The witness remained alone in a tent at a Boy Scout camp while the rest of the troop was away. After hearing a troop mate shout, the witness left the tent and saw a large brown bipedal figure flash past and run up a brush-covered incline with great speed. The figure paused at the crest to look back before disappearing when the boys entered the brush.
