Daylight sighting by horseback rider below Bald Butte, Mt. Hood zone
Account
The witness and a young relative rode a horse up a hillside and stopped for cocoa before dusk. The horse reacted fearfully, and the witness saw a large hairy biped about 50 yards away that took a step toward them then turned and walked away. The pair fled with the horse and the witness reported the sighting to a parent after returning.
