Investigator summary Oregon Bigfoot #39

near Estacada - Frank and Barbie Kaneaster sight white Bigfoot which leaves deformed tracks

October 1996 afternoon Estacada, Clackamas County, Oregon 4 witnesses

Account

Two men cutting firewood reportedly saw a white 7-foot-tall creature step to the edge of a logging road about 25 feet away, then turn and walk back into the forest with a pronounced limp. A woman watching from a truck about 300 feet away also saw it and alerted her husband, who arrived too late to see it. The husband later found and followed footprints in forest duff and made plaster casts of both feet, noting deformity of the right foot.
