Truck driver see 8 1/2' tall creature near Camp 18

27 January 2006 early morning Cannon Beach, Clatsop County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness claimed to be driving a tractor-trailer toward Portland when he saw a large, very bulky human-like figure covered in long reddish-brown hair in a gravel pull-off about four miles past Camp 18 restaurant. He estimated the height at about 8.5 feet using his elevated viewpoint from the truck. Traveling at about 50 mph, he could not see the face, felt scared, and did not return.
