Account
Roger Hines driving west from Larch Mountain saw an 8-foot creature covered with hair cross the road about 80 feet in front of his car, and drove to the sheriff's office at Gresham to report it in spite of the fact that he was returning from a Christmas party at his father's home still wearing a Santa Claus suit.
