Incident #1000311
Dallas, Polk Cty, Oregon
Jun 1970
Account
Doris Newton was driving when she saw on the road 100 yards away a 6 foot, heavy, erect creature with short, dark, silver-tipped hair. It quickly stepped off into the bush, although she saw no other indication that it was aware of her. There was a strong smell in the area, and leaves and green berries from salmonberries appeared to have been eaten. One poor possible track, about 12 1/2 inches, found in gravel.
