Incident #1001429
Grapeview, Mason Cty, Washington
Oct 1993
Account
Driving on Harstene Island, about 11.30 p.m., at the grange hall corner at the North end of the island, Dale Barker rounded turn and saw something standing in a horse pasture. As he slowed it turned and walked along parallel to the car, then going faster than the car. Where the road turned sharp right it stepped over the fence, crossed the road and disappeared in brush on the other side. The field was 3 or 4 feet below the road, but the creature towered over the car. It had a smell so strong it burned the nose.
