Incident #1000982
Umqua Mountains, Oregon
about 1958
Account
Florence Wallport said that she and her daughter were driving on a narrow road in the Umqua Mountains when she asked her daughter to stop the car, and opened the door. Close by was what she thought was a stump, 8 to 9 feet tall, until it moved. She got back in the car and they drove on. She thought at first it was a bear, but it did not have a bear's face. Its eyes glowed reddish green. The daughter got one quick look.
