Madras, Jefferson Cty, Oregon
Mar 1970
Account
J.W. Gottshalk says that he and Jim De Smith, Bend, Oregon, were driving in heavy snow on the road from Hwy. 20 to Camp Sherman, following Tom Normington and Roger Maier, both from Portland, in another car, all of them heading for a cabin, keys to which were in the second car. They found the first two men trying to break in, saying that they were frightened of a large, manlike, bipedal creature they had seen go from the woods on one side of the road to the woods on the other, in two strides. It was about 100 yards ahead of them.
