Account
Winn Forman's grandmother Carey told him that ranch hands herding the family sheep along the East flank of the Cascades near Maupin saw a hairy man sitting on a stump with his back to them. It suddenly stood up and faced them, 7 feet, covered with brown hair. Then it turned and walked slowly to the woods without looking back.
