REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: This is a long time coming because I am 66, born in Cottage Grove 1942 and as a lad of 6 or 7 I went to the Curtin, Oregon elementary school, 1st and 2nd grade, which I believe now is the local Grange Hall. We lived about two miles up Pheasant Creek, the house now gone, burned down and I made the 2.5 mile trek back and forth to school each day, sometimes with the aid of a small bicycle. One day, probably in early May, about 1/4 mile from my house,I was pushing my bike up a fairly steep hill. There was a vertical sandstone cutbank of about 15-20' in height. There was slight movement at the top of the cut and I observed a kneeling figure parting the brush with it's hands, gazing at me with a look of curiosity. The creature was light gray with tufts of black hair, particularly at the sides of the mouth, like a beard. On the cheeks and under the eyes the fur was lighter color, almost white. The head was very blocky and square, even to the very top of the head, unlike the artists renditions at this site. I had the distinct impression that this was a juvenile, namely that it was little over 5' tall in my estimation but probably weighed over 200 pounds. I'll tell you it scared the hell out of me, because I went by that place like a flash from then on.
