Incident #1000250
Taholah, Grays Harbor Cty, Washington
Jun 1972
Account
Allen Ebling, a resident of Quinalt Indian Reserve, was driving to work shake cutting early in the morning when he saw about 100 yards away from his truck a dark creature 7 to 8 feet high running in a slight stoop across the logging slash on the sidehill, faster than a man could run. When first seen it was headed towards him. It kept going as he went past, until it entered the timber.
