Woman recalls childhood incident -- possible stalking near Yelm
Account
As a nine-year-old, the witness took a wrong turn while walking through woods toward an orchard and felt watched for an extended time. The witness heard a branch snap and saw underbrush moving without seeing the source, then later found a large footprint near a caution-tape marker. The witness came to believe years later that a sasquatch had followed and protected them until they recrossed the fence to their property.
