Yachats, Lincoln Cty, Oregon
Jun 1992
Account
Steve Maxwell said that while driving on the access road of his family's 300 acres a mile north of Cape Perpetua about 4 p.m. he saw a 9-foot creature run across the road at high speed, in front of some hikers who where ahead of him. It was covered with brown hair 4 to 5 inches long. He and his father later explored the area around the sighting. One possible large footprint was too blurred to measure. They found a mysterious pile of fresh oyster shells in the forest.
