Account
The witness was driving toward Yakima with two young companions along a road by the river while watching for wildlife. The witness noticed a large dark figure at the water's edge behind bushes. The witness braked and reversed to look again, but the figure was gone. The companions did not claim to have seen it and responded skeptically.
