Incident #1001449
Crescent City, Del Norte Cty, California
Aug 1995
Account
Driving South on Hwy 101 very early in the morning, not far from Crescent City, saw a beach with black sand and parked in parking lot. Suddenly a 6.5 to 7-foot creature appeared right in front of car, and locked eyes with an angry expression. Snorted and snot hit the windshield, then crosed the highway in 3 or 4 steps, nearly getting hit by another car. Dark brown, matted hair, holding what seemed to be seaweed in both hands.
