Account
Jim Craig and Colleen McKay said thay were driving West from The Dalles with two other young people when they saw a dark brown creature, twice the size of a human, sitting on the rocks above the road, legs extended, arms hanging down, swaying to and fro, in an area where there had been other sightings. They pulled off the road and watched it for 5 or 10 minutes.
