Kayaker describes daylight sighting on river near town of White Salmon

10 July 2019 approx 3pm White Salmon, Klickitat County, Washington 1 witness

Account

After rafting, the witness rested beside a calm stretch of the White Salmon River. After about 30 minutes without kayakers, a tall skinny black-haired hominid emerged from woods about 80 yards away and waded across the river toward the witness's side. At about 50 yards it turned its head and shoulders toward the witness, then entered riverside brush and moved up an embankment out of sight.
