Poulsbo, Kitsap, Washington
Mar 1995
Account
Information from two reports is combined here, since they have the same questionnaire number and only the dog incident, Feb. 4, 1995, has been given a location. PROBLEM: The location given is Poulsbo, which is on the shore of a peninsula, and none of the land behind it reaches the 500 to 700-foot elevation given for the sighting report. 10.30 pm Feb 4 witness' dogs were acting frightened and a 60-pound German Shepherd cross dashed through some fir trees towards the neighbour's driveway. There was a thump and a small gasp and a few seconds later the dog was thrown through the trees at a height over 9 feet and covering at least 39 feet. She landed on her back, fatally injured. Deputies attended. 1.30 am March 2 the witness was working in his garage when a motion sensing yard light went on. He looked through the window and shone a flashlight, and saw a very dark creature over 7 ft. tall, est. 4 to 500 pounds, standing facing away from him. When the light hit it the creature turned towards him, then walked casually away, upright, slightly stooped, very smooth walk, and went down the road. Shoulders wide, no neck, arms hung slightly forward, saw one eye, which looked like a black marble, head seemed flat on top. Deputy attended. Ground frozen.
