Incident #1000882
Chewelah, Ferry Cty, Washington
1976
Account
Kurt Sears and two friends were parked in a field at Burnt Valley hunting coyotes, when they saw two large green eyes approaching, high off the ground, then made out an upright figure bigger than a bear. The drove away and the creature ran alongside at up to 20 miles an hour until they reached the highway. Frozen ground too hard to show tracks.
