Account
Clement Klink, one of a search party looking for missing vacationers on Tillamook Head, a 1000-foot-high hill projecting into the sea, hunting mear the "death trap", looked up a cliff and saw an animal-like human pearing down at him, a considerable distance away. As he watched it bounded away. A few days earlier another searcher, Irving C. Allen, told of seeing a shaggy-yet-human beast on Bald Mountain. (1000974)
