Incident #1000994
Beatty, Klamath Cty, Oregon
Jan 1967
Account
Two hunters on a road near an area called Tableland, near the road to Sycan Marsh, came upon tracks 15 to 17 inches long, with a stride too long for a human, which they followed for several miles in snow six inches deep, while snow was falling. The tracks left the road and ascended to Tableland, a huge flat plateau, where they disappeared in blowing snow.
