Account
Harvey Parry said that as he and two others were in a helicopter flying over mountains to a movie set for "Paint Your Wagon" they saw from 400 feet up a huge, stooped creature covered with heavy hair, walking upright down a logging road. They watched it for 45 seconds before it ran off the road, after running faster than any sprinter.
