Incident #1000792
Skamania, Skamania Cty, Washington
Aug 1970
Account
Driving on Hwy. 14 at Woodard Creek Bridge in daylight around 7 p.m., Louise Baxter thought she had a flat tire, stopped and got out of the car. She then felt she was being watched, turned and looked to the wooded area beside the road and looked into the face of a hugh creature, coconut brown, shaggy, dirty looking, with a huge fist up to its mouth, eating something. Could see it only from the shoulders up, above the bushes. Large square white teeth, big head set right on shoulders, long hair covering ears, jutting chin, receding forehead, nose wide, big nostrils, less hairy on nose and upper lip. Eyes amber, and seemed to glow. She got back in the car and fled. Went back with husband, brother, husband's father and a brother-in-law. Found bent grass and brush, one possible track.
