Forest worker has an encounter near Mount Rainier

August 2006 7:50A.M. The West Side Of Mount Rainier., Pierce County, Washington 1 witness

Account

A forest trail worker leveling shale heard rocks clacking nearby and shouted and threw a stone while backing toward a vehicle. The witness then saw a dark brown leg and face of a creature leaning under a fir limb about 20 feet away. The witness left to get crew members, who returned but saw nothing and all left the area because they felt spooked.
