Investigator summary Oregon Bigfoot #144

Sixes River - Orange glowing eyes, strange sounds and disturbed vegetation described

1974 night Curry County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

Three people spent the night at a defunct gold claim in the forest. During the night they reported orangish eye flashes, squeaking sounds where the eyes were seen, strange crying noises from an alder stand, and a loud crashing noise likened to a car wreck. The next day they found a clump of vine maple with a large root wad that had been freshly pulled and laid sideways, which they could not move.
