Memory told of being followed and hearing possible vocalizations at a house near Napavine

In 1980 a teenage witness walking up a long driveway by dense brush heard something bipedal pacing her from cover, seeing only treetops move.

She interpreted the daytime pacing and nighttime calls as connected and attributed them to Bigfoot.
