Incident #1000715
Darrington, Snohomish Cty, Washington
1964
Account
Scott Claghorn and his wife driving on a little-uesd road saw two 10-foot giants running across an open field. One stopped, straightened up and looked at the car, but as he was reaching for his camera it ran off to a clump of trees with incredible speed. No description except mention of "fur fatigue suits." Story locates incident 30 miles East of Arlington, which would be much closer to Darrington.
