Possible beach sighting at night by a tourist near Point Brown

The witness was tending a beach fire after midnight when he noticed a dark bipedal figure walking south along the waterline in full moonlight.

No tracks were recoverable because high-tide waves covered the waterline.

Possible encounter with soldier training training in the Olympic National Forest

The witness was taking part in a nighttime military training exercise in a forested area in 1966 and was returning alone to the company area around 3-4 a.m. He noticed the outline of a large upright figure coming down a steep sandy hill toward a logging road while hearing footsteps and shifting dirt. When he challenged the figure, it responded with a loud growl, and he ran to the campfire without hearing pursuit. He initially told others the pursuer was a bear but later concluded it had walked on two legs and was a bigfoot.
