Mrs. Robert Burton picking berries near her home with her daughter, 12, and a youth, 17, in a valley "full of tag alders" saw about 200 feet away the head and shoulders of a man covered with hair except on the face. Height above brush indicated 8 to 10 feet tall. As they watched it ducked out of sight, but reappeared a few yards away. This happened several times and then it was not seen again
