First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #480

Campers in a very remote location hear bipedal walking at night and see a light (?) in the woods

5 February 2003 night Cascade Locks, Hood River County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

Three hikers camped on a [name withheld] at night saw a flashlight-like light move across their tent and then heard crunching bipedal footsteps circling. Their campfire flickered out and was later found damp with ash and dirt on top, while pacing continued for over an hour. They found no tracks or visible source and inferred a non-human bipedal presence.
