Father and son hear strange sounds while camping near Oregon Caves
Account
A witness and a relative were camped at a shelter in a remote mountain meadow during a multi-day hiking trip. On the final morning both heard repeated very loud screeching, guttural, howl-like sounds from upslope lasting several minutes but could see no source. Both were shaken, ate quickly, left earlier than planned while checking behind them, and have not returned. The witness concluded the unknown sounds were made by a Sasquatch.
