Beaverton, Multnomah Cty, Oregon
Apr 1991
Account
Anonymous woman lives on houseboat on Columbia Slough, behind Sauvies Island, in the Columbia River, North of Portland. Birdwatching with binoculars, she was looking for herons in the shallow waters towards the mainland when she saw a "cave man" covered with long brown hair on the body and longer hair on the head, standing slightly stoooped, knee deep in the water, arms outstretched, apparently fishing. Very big and muscular, over 6 feet tall. She went to get her husband, but it was gone. Several evenings later she saw it again.
