(Show Printer-friendly Version)

YEAR: 1975

SEASON: Fall

MONTH: September

STATE: Oregon

COUNTY: Umatilla County

LOCATION DETAILS: It was about a mile south of Pilot Rock in stubble wheat field

NEAREST TOWN: Pilot Rock

NEAREST ROAD: US 395

OBSERVED: I was Pheasant hunting and was coming home before dark and I was just past the Pilot Rock cemetery that is in the country. I was on a little ridge that takes me home to the house. I did not see anything for I can see all the way to the highway from there.Then I looked over to my left and there was "someone" walking towards the mountains and here it was getting late. It was about a 1/4 mile from me. It was a dark figure that looked like a guy walking but its arms were longer than normal for a person. I hollered at it and it turned and looked at me, when it turned it moved its whole top half of its body! I hollered HEY again and it didn't look at me. I watched it for about 15 min. till it was out of sight from me. I was not scared for I was well "armed" with the shotgun. The funny thing was that first I did not see it, then there it was. I think it was laying down hiding and then it jumped up and started walking away. I can't tell how tall it was for there was nothing to compare it to out there, but it did walk fast and was out of sight a mile away in 15min. And I never thought to look for any tracks.

ALSO NOTICED: Nothing before or after -- but did install a light on the back of the house to shine into the field.

OTHER WITNESSES: Just me alone -- I was Pheasant hunting but had not shot or seen any birds.

OTHER STORIES: My dad and brother heard something in the mountains back in the 50's at 2 different places. One was about 16 miles from Pilot back when they were deer hunting and the other was by Anthony lake area. They didn't see anything just heard a weird laughing grunting.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: it was about a half hour before dark-weather was clear and nice.

ENVIRONMENT: Geography: In the middle of a wheat stubble field with a small ravine between it and me.
