Incident #1000313
Wilsonville, Washington Cty, Oregon
Aug 1970
Account
Mrs. Laura Picchi went to see who was shooting beyond some bush on their farm. She climbed through a barbed-wire fence next to the bush and as she turned back to pick up the shotgun she had leaned against a fence post she was picked up by huge hairy hands on a hip and an elbow and tossed back over the fence. When she picked herself up and looked towards the bush the creature was gone. Afterwards there was a strong musty smell on her sweater. Interviewed the following day, she had only fleeting impressions of the creature, recalled a small reddish eye and impressions of its general build but no recollection of how she saw these things. She said it stepped over the fence as it was in the act of throwing her, so legs were long. Feet were large. In general it was huge.
