Footsteps near Astoria, Oregon (2008)
Account
The witness and his wife camped in a small tent off Highway 30 east of Astoria after finding an abandoned camp nearby. After dark they heard movement in thick brush that escalated to multiple large things rushing directly at the tent from different directions for 30 to 45 minutes, stopping very close before running off. They stayed still in the tent until it stopped and left in the morning.
