Incident #1000303
Estacada, Clackamus Cty, Oregon
Dec 1968
Account
Glen Thomas was following elk tracks when he happened to turn around. Right behind him was a huge hair-covered biped with its arms raised. He tried to get his revolver out from under his rain gear and in doing so cocked the gun. When the gun clicked the creature ducked behind the roots of an overturned tree, and Glen fled. He said he no longer hunts sasquatch alone in heavy timber. Didn't notice all the face, which was well above him, but it was small compared to the shoulders. The upper lip fluttered when the creature exhaled. A lot more lip under the nose than a human has. Hands were very long, with the thumb lower on the hand than human.
