REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: Ms. Grant lived next to a police officer in Sweethome, OR. She said he came over one day shaken, and he had been sworn to secrecy. In the early 1970's, he had an early evening report from Manns Ridge, that people from California were moving into a new house on the ridge, and had heard noises from the garage. A huge head appeared above the garage door, from where it had been stooped over looking at stuff in boxes. It left, stepping over a barbed wire fence and loped off. The creature was described as bad smelling and of a really dark color. Silver and black hairs from the fence were analyzed and said to be of no known species (Oregon State Univ. Ms Grant thought) The Police had been ordered to keep quiet to avoid a panic. The Californians never moved into the house. Ms. Grant had a grandma that lives in a cabin on the ridge (T14S R5E).
