Follow-up investigation report:

D is a secretary ward clerk in the medical field. I was able to obtain this sighting report through D's children who are students of mine. They were able to recite their mom's story as vividly as she did. Their mom's sighting had no doubt left an impression on them.

Another local incident:

Two different girls who attend Mossyrock found large 18" footprints in the woods near one of the girl's home in Cinabar at approximately the same time as D's sighting. (April of 1999)
