Incident #1000511
Happy Camp, Siskiyou Cty, California
1967
Account
Lori Long, later Lori Robertson, and Heidi Smith, later Heidi Frayne, went walking on an old road from Kemper Gulch to the Wagner Ranch, and found part of a carcass lying across the road. Long identifies it as a sasquatch. Smith does not think so. They agree that there was a lot of long, dark hair and no face. Long recalls dark skin, weathered white ribs, a thumbnail squared off, split, thick as a tough toenail and coloured like a nicotine stained finger. She said its legs were spread and seemed short for the body. Smith says there was no body, but bones gave the impression of a big animal.
