Incident #1000894
Darrington, Snohomish Cty, Washington
Sep 1977
Account
Mildred Quinn, climbing Mount White Chuck with a large group, had to give up at the 6,000-foot level, on a small, moss-covered plateau. A malamute dog was left to keep her company. After a rest she looked around and saw a humanlike black fighre, about 7 feet high, leaning against a rock about 80 feet away. It had long arms and legs, huge shoulders, slim waist and hips. Long black fur stood out as if with static electricity. She looked away for a minute, hoping it was a dream. When she looked back it had extended its left arm away from its side. It was watching her and the dog, which stayed by her. She closed her eyes to pray and when she opened them it was gone. eyes,
