Class A First-hand BFRO #45423

Memory told of seeing two sasquatches by a river west of Union

15 May 2002 about noon, 12 to 1 o'clock Union, Mason County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was fishing downstream while two companions walked upriver. He noticed steam rising from what looked like a broken tree, then saw eyes turn toward him and recognized two hairy figures, a smaller one that fled by jumping over rocks and logs and a larger one squatting on its heels. He brought his companions back to view the larger figure from about 25 yards away, then all three ran to their van and later saw the spot was empty.
