Girls see retreating biped near Molalla River

August 1984 right before dusk Mollalla, Clackamas County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

In 1984 two teenage companions were hanging out near a river swimming area under a bridge before dusk when they both noticed a tall, dark, hair-covered human-like figure running between trees on the far side of the river. The figure moved fast with human-like motion, slightly stooped, glanced at them while running, and quickly disappeared. Both fled home and told the witness's parents, who did not believe them.
