Account
Mrs. Durgan opened her window curtains at 4 a.m. and found herself face to face with an oyster white, very sad looking creature with a heavy brow ridge and downward sloping eyes. Its arms hung down. She closed curtains, then thought she must have imagined it, opened curtains again, it was still there. Site on Texas Street in Bellingham was then next to a wooded hillside, later built up all around.
