Incident #1001007
Heppner, Morrow Cty, Oregon
1967
Account
D.L. Roberts said that when hunting elk on Black Mountain at the start of the season he saw over several days a number of hairy people of both sexes, not large but apparently adults, one of whom was accompanied by a wolf. They were covered with black hair 2 to 4 inches long, and had no necks. He thought one female was making up to him. He said that a friend told him they were always there, and around John Day (50 miles South Southeast) lots of people knew about them. (If real these are not sasquatches as described by almost all other witnesses.)
