Class A First-hand BFRO #1090

Girl has daytime sighting near Twain Harte

BFRO YEAR: 1978/79 between 10am and 2pm Twain Harte, Tuolumne County, California 1 witness

Account

At about age 12-13 the witness returned alone to a stream and rock in dense woods behind the campground. From about 15 feet away she saw a long dark-haired arm with long fingers wrapped around a pine beside the trail, then a flat dark face peer out and make eye contact. She fled past the tree back to the family trailer and stayed there for the rest of the vacation without telling her parents at the time.
