Teenager recounts his sighting as a very young boy on his property near Yacolt

August 1995 sunny hot dry afternoon Yacolt, Clark County, Washington 1 witness

Account

A young child who had gone about fifty yards from the house to pick thimbleberries claimed a large white-furred creature rose up from behind the bushes within a few feet. The child observed broad shoulders, long arms at its sides, and a human-like head shape for a few seconds before running back to the house in terror. No one else saw the creature, and later searches found no tracks or hair.
