Incident #1000300
Estacada, Clackamus Cty, Oregon
1968
Account
Glen Thomas had stepped out of his truck to sight in a gun when he noticed an animal in the bushes 100 feet from the road. He climbed up on a bank by the road for a better look. The creature was upright, hair covered, with breasts lower down than a human's. It was stripping leaves from a willow bush with its hands and stuffing them in its mouth. When it noticed him it crossed an old logging track, the only time he saw its legs, and disappeared in heavier timber. It did not use its thumbs.
