Class A First-hand BFRO #15746

Native American woman recalls childhood sighting on family property near Cayuse

September 1994 about 3am Pendleton, Umatilla County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness sat in a parked car with a companion planning the next day. When the headlights were turned on to light a path to the front door, the witness saw a huge slender brown hair-covered figure sprint across the backyard covering about 40 yards very quickly. The companion was distracted and did not see it, and the yard dogs were unusually quiet and whimpered.
