Sasquatch sighting in Washington (1990)

The witness had moved to a remote rural property to help a relative with horses.

Looking from an upstairs window the witness saw a very tall hairy apelike form peering into a lower window that turned, vocalized, and frightened the witness into a corner until daylight, after which the witness left the property within days.
