Incident #1000860
Lummi, Whatcom Cty, Washington
Oct 1975
Account
Rodney Hillair said he came over a hill, walking on Chief Martin Road, and saw ahead on the road what he first thought was a bear, then realized was a sasquatch. It was about 8 feet tall, and was walking across the road. The creature stepped into the ditch then turned and looked at him for a long time, seemed like a minute, then stepped up the bank and walked through the brush until it was alongside him, pushed the brush back and looked again, then turned and walked away into the woods..
