Incident #1000307
Sweethome, Marion Cty, Oregon
Jan 1993
Account
Harold Davenport reported seeing at a range of about 15 feet a creature standing bent over next to a stump with some brush obscuring its legs below the knees. He was listening to some people down below, and thinks the creature was listening too, then noticed a movement out of the corner of his eye and saw the animal move into brushy cover and disappear downhill. He could hear it running. It was reddish-brown, quite slender and of human-like proportions, very tall.
