Investigator summary Oregon Bigfoot #14

Fish Creek - Campers hear noises, smell 'skunky' smell

2 March 2001 pre-dawn hours Estacada, Clackamas County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

Two people backpacked in and camped for two nights along a closed road. During the second night, one camper heard sustained light movement in brush around camp after dark and woke to a strong skunk-like odor before dawn. After sunrise, that camper found two fresh and clear footprints in duff near camp measuring about 15 inches long. The camper interpreted the activity as the camp being cased.
