For over 60 years John Green of Harrison Hot Springs, B.C. has been collecting sighting reports, researching and publishing. Now John has made his entire database available online. It can be seen at:

My first memory of sasquatch discussion was the 1st of April 1959 when I was 10 years old. This story is  written about in John Green’s book – “Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us” and now posted online.

As a child in Idaho I read this article in our local newspaper about a sighting in North-east Oregon. My uncle, Roy Carper, lived in Wallowa County, Oregon and he knew one of the witnesses involved. Uncle Roy said his friend wanted the pilot to rent a small helicopter and go back and have another look but the pilot refused.

Here is the article from John Green.

Ray McFarland, Doug Holman and Leonard Knight were on a pleasure flight over the Wallowa Mountains when they saw near Horseshoe Lake (not on 1:250,000 map) a hairy half-man, half-beast tearing at the carcass of a small animal in the snow. Clouds prevented them from returning for a second look. McFarland used binoculars, and said it appeared that patches of skin could be seen, and that the creature’s hind legs were longer than the front limbs. (Note that the story was published April 1.)

I vividly remember this incident as my relatives lived close to the sighting area.  The description as “half-man, half-beast” really scared me as a kid, actually it still does.

Thank you Mr. Green for your years of dedication and persistence in the field of sasquatch research.
