YEAR: 1979

SEASON: Winter

MONTH: December

DATE: 7

STATE: Washington

COUNTY: Pierce County

LOCATION DETAILS: West of Vaughn, south bound on Rocky Bay Point Road. Approx. .5 mile south of our house.

NEAREST TOWN: Victor

NEAREST ROAD: Rocky Bay Point Road

OBSERVED: Upright figure covered in black hair walking across road 20 to 50 ft. in front of our car as we drove home. I did not see much, as I wasn't looking forward until my mother screamed. My mother claims the creature was like a hideous ape with arms dragging. Size: "taller than your father"; Note: My father is 6'9".

OTHER WITNESSES: Father driving car; mother in passenger seat. I was in back seat.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: Sometime between 8 and 10 PM

ENVIRONMENT: Road close to Minter Creek as it runs into Rocky Bay, a small inlet where the tide completely recedes, leaving mud flats. Location, to a fairly accurate degree, determined by my description of road crossing Minter creek, rural, 2nd growth forest with, at that time, individual houses every mile or so. Abundant blackberry and salal bushes.
