For Your Halloween Meditation!

A 108 Year Old Sasquatch Tale. 
From UO's Historic Newspaper Collection!

"Many of the miners avow that the 'wild man' is a reality. They have seen him and know whereof they speak. They say he is something after the fashion of a gorilla and unlike anything else either in appearance or action. He can outrun or jump anything else that has ever been known; and not only that but he can throw rocks with wonderful force and accuracy. He is about seven feet high, has broad hands and feet and his body is covered by a prolific growth of hair. In short he looks the very devil." --Myrtle Point Enterprise. 1904..
