Green Mt. east of Drain - Men hear scream, something charges, smell something bad

1982 night Drain, Douglas County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Two people went into heavy mountain timber at night to investigate a reported creature. After hearing a scream and finding whitish droppings, they heard trees shaking and stomping from brush in a canyon, then something charged while snorting and screaming. After a shot was fired in the air, multiple creatures were said to start coming up the hill, and the two fled to their car.
