Class A First-hand BFRO #24882

Four campers have nighttime visitation and then a visual observation of a sasquatch near Estacada

10 August 2008 around 11:30am Estacada, Clackamas County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The morning after a night of knocking sounds at a remote ridge camp, the witness and a companion were driving out on a logging road when a very tall dark figure ran across the road ahead of them and disappeared into the trees. They stopped at the crossing point and searched the uphill slope, where the witness found and videotaped an 18-inch barefoot-like track in moss along with other partial marks, and heard something noisy move away through the forest.
