Account
Late at night the witness was riding in the back seat of a car that stopped at a crossroads between Boring and Gresham. From about 100 yards away he saw a very tall dark figure walking diagonally across a field toward woods to the northeast. A companion in the car also remarked on its large size. The witness later recalled a humid, mossy, mildew-like smell in the area.
