First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #146

Near Babyfoot lake/Kalmiopsis wilderness - Campers hear terrifying vocalizations and see a huge dark form

24 August 1969 night Grants Pass, Curry County, Oregon 5 witnesses

Account

The witness and four companions were camping overnight near a creek in wilderness. After an earlier disturbance near their car, they heard loud screams approaching camp and spent about half an hour hiding in sleeping bags while something moved around camp on two feet and wailed. As it left, several of them glimpsed a huge hulking form moving away in dim moonlight.
