Incident #1001112
Burns, Harney Cty, Oregon
Feb 1993
Account
Ann Peterson and her mother had gone to aid her father, whose car had broken down on a back road when he was hunting near Crane. All three in mother's car when a sasquatch walked out from the woods and took a look at father's car, parked 50 feet away. It then walked back uphill to the woods, "slumped...like a gorilla." Smelt like a man who hadn't taken a bath. In sight about 10 minutes.
