Early evening sighting in Canyon City
Account
A six-year-old child standing outside with a relative noticed a hair-covered figure standing on a hill across the road, backlit by the setting sun. After watching it stand for about a minute, the child saw it turn and walk away, then ran inside to tell the family. The parents checked the hilltop and reported finding large footprints.
