A listener writes “I live just north of Spokane. Ive been listening to your show for a few years now, and i feel its my time to share what I’ve encountered.
Ive had some experiences and one sighting. My first encounter was the sighting, I was about 12 at the time. My dad, younger brother and I went fishing for the day. We had just left the lake, it wasnt totally dark out but enough to need headlights on. It was a dirt, mountain type road so we werent going anymore then 25mph. I was in the passenger seat of the Yukon and my younger brother was in the back seat, we were just talking about the day and the next thing we know this creature ran on two legs right in front if us. Happened so fast and close enough to the vehicle my dad didnt have time to put on the brakes. My dad and I sat there quiet for like 30 seconds as we kept driving, meanwhile my little brother keeps saying “dad what was that!” My dad and I looked at each other and he asked me what I saw. I said running on 2 legs, he says yep, I say covered in hair, he says yep. I say pretty short, he says yep.
The top of the head couldn’t have been 4-6″ above the hood of the Yukon. I remember the conical head, and brown fur and its arm go back and forth as it ran. To keep this short there is a place where we hunt that way off the beaten path and we have found 3 sets of prints, and I had an encounter where I thought I was going to be trampled by something huge and when,I turned to look the sound was gone, no branches or bushes moving. If this is something youd like to hear more about id be glad to talk to you!”

Sounds like a baby if it were one? My very first encounter (type A – sighting) was on the South Hill (in Spokane) at my dads cousins house (the cousin is now, a practicing attorney in Spokane or just recently retired) in or around 1975. My second, was outside of Colville (type B – sound only) , in or around 1980 – and my brother had an experience in 1992 outside of Colville when he was around 18 or 19 – as well as my dad also in the same Colville area around 1953 when he was around 10 or 11 (weird it was same age as one of mine). (I say this because like your story, these areas are in Spokane or just north of Spokane). After moving across just the border, to Idaho, Ive had more encounters – and listened to other eye witnesses encounters from people at work – its a definite hot spot: Eastern WA / Northern ID…
