Late night road crossing sighting by hunters near the eastern boundary of Mt. Hood National Forest

October 2009 around 8:30 am Dufur, Wasco County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

On the morning of October 5 2009 the witness and a companion were driving toward a hunting area when two black upright figures about seven feet tall ran across the road and into dense brush. The witness drove closer and then got out to listen but heard nothing and the figures were gone. The party left the woods that night and returned days later with a relative to find odor, snapped small trees, a possible print, and scat.
