First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #4058

Man reports several audio encounters and describes being paralleled on a dark road

14 August 1989 night Big Bend, Shasta County, California

Account

The witness and several companions were socializing outside cabins near a dam after fishing when they heard a faint strange sound from a canyon beyond a spillway. A louder cry followed from closer, then a third roaring howl-cry from only 50-75 yards away along the treeline. Everyone present fled on foot toward the cabins.
