Daylight sighting from horseback on Spring Hill, near Hillsboro

June 1997 early afternoon Hillsboro, Washington County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding horseback with a companion and a dog along a game trail when she noticed a dark figure foraging about 120 yards away. The figure stood upright and sprinted up a steep ridge on two legs while swinging its arms, and the dog chased it out of sight. The witness rode another trail to higher ground but could not follow through the timber, and the dog returned later tired. The companion did not see the creature.
