Incident #1001503
Satsop, Grays Harbor Cty, Washington
1972
Account
Kirk and Kelly D., boys 15 and 16.5, were walking to their isolated home on E. Satsop road when they noted a large dark object following them. They ran, but it kept up, still apparently at an easy walk. They jumped a fence and went to a house, where they were let in. The neighbour lady scoffed at the idea of a monster, opened the door and saw it, now in her front yard. They watched it through a window, by now about 12 feet from the porch. More than 8 feet tall, covered with light greyish-brown hair, flat nose, long arms and legs, wide shoulders, narrow hips. It stayed briefly, then stepped over the fence, crossed the road and went down a steep embankment to the Satsop River 100 feet below. Early next morning the boys called Wayne Moore, a neighbour, and he found 17" by 8" footprints and traced them down to the river and for half a mile, where they entered the water.
