Incident #1001475
Willard, Skamania Cty, Washington
Apr 1995
Account
Witness driving on Underwood--Cook loop, about two miles from intersection of Willard Road, saw creature at the side of the road and slammed on the brakes. It was sitting on its feet beside the road manipulating gravel with its right hand. He thought it was a person, then an escaped ape. It got up, pushing off with one hand, and walked away slowly, leaning forward slightly, without looking at his truck. Estimated height 6 feet, stocky, with long arms and legs. Hair was blackish brown and may have been long on the head, as he couldn't see the neck.
