From John Green's The Sasquatch File:
May 1967
The Dalles
Wasco County
Dennis Taylor and friends frequently watched BF cross freewat near cemetary going from hills to river @ 11:30 p.m. Sometimes more than one. Several times they shot at them with various weapons, and once one was knocked down with buckshot at close range. Leaped up and ran through a barb wire fence, taking out 3 posts. One usually seen was 9 feet tall, "must have weighed half a ton". Its eyes glowed red.
