Bend, Lane Cty, Oregon
1950's
Account
Dick Russell, at Brooks Cameras, San Francisco, said that a man named Zack Hamilton had brought in a roll of film and told a story of being stalked by a hairy monster in the Three Sisters Wilderness in Oregon. The developed film showed a blurred shape at a distance that could have been an upright creature with a wide body and heavy arms and legs. The owner never returned for the processed film.
