Description of event: On August 13th, Pat Garnier of the Sioux Nation, and Klamath Chief Buddy Parazou, were poaching elk 1 1/2 miles SW of Pelican Butte, OR (T35S R5E Sec. 30), about five miles west of the upper end of Klamath Lake. On top of a ridge in heavy forest, Pat reported seeing a "demon," or he says, a woman gorilla. He knows it was female, as the estimated 7 1/2 foot creature had bare breasts, and appeared to be lactating, with child (not seen). The skin was a light brown, but the rest of the creature was dark brown. They sighted-in on the creature with loaded rifles, watching through their scopes. Pat said that canine teeth were seen and the creature was about 50 yards away. A loud scream was heard. They had no intentions of shooting the creature, and rapidly left the area.
