Early evening close encounter near Bandon by mushroom hunters leaving the forest

29 October 2004 6-9:30 pm Bandon, Coos County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was picking mushrooms while cattle behind him acted spooked for hours. After hiking to the road at night, a tall hairy biped ran toward him, stopped about 100 feet away breathing heavily, then bounded across the road and brush without an audible landing. The witness then heard chattering sounds surrounding him while walking out.
