Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Scott Taylor:

This witness is a boy, 12 years old. I spoke with his grandfather and mother, obtaining permission to interview him. The witness was very mature in his manner of speaking. Actually, he was more clear and to the point with answering questions than many adults. At the first interview, he was not able to help me pinpoint the location, but shortly thereafter, he e-mailed me a picture from Google Earth with the location shown. His effort to follow-up was unexpected of a 12 year-old.

This young man was walking down a dirt road and when he came around a right hand turn in the road, he noticed the creature about 150 ft away. He said that the creature looked at him for about 10 seconds. He said, “Hello?” and the creature made a vocalization back at him. His description and mimic of the vocalization was very similar to the deep sounding “blaaat” call that the night watchmen near Morton, WA heard, see report #22475. He then heard a squeaky grunt back in the forest. The creature then turned and retreated back into the trees. He heard branches breaking and then ran back to his mother.

The creature was reported to be gray-brown, about 7 ½ ft tall. There was hair around the face. He was not close enough to see details of its face. The head was very large, and egg shaped. The pointy end of the “egg” was up. He saw that the creature had hands. He said that he saw the creature’s chest, arms and head, but could not determine gender.

There are other reports from the general area of this report, see report #23300.

This area, the sequence of events, the description of the creature's appearance and behavior, the vocalizations, and other information not included in the witness' written report, all lead me to conclude that this lucky young man had a eyewitness encounter with a sasquatch.
