First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #5469

Sighting on mainline logging rd near Coos Bay

October 1994 early afternoon Coos Bay, Coos County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness stopped for lunch while deer hunting and noticed movement in a tall pine at the edge of a logged area. Using binoculars, the witness watched a huge dark manlike creature clinging to the treetop and appearing to collect something before it looked toward the witness. The creature then pushed off the tree, fell to the ground with a loud crash, and the group fled in their vehicle.
