Sasquatch sighting near Grants Pass, Oregon (1980)
Account
The guest and two companions drove up a snowy skid road and parked on a small landing. He watched a small tree-like shape move on the ridge, called a friend over, then stepped forward and saw it stand, walk, bellow, and break and throw branches as it charged downhill. He fled to the lifted truck and saw a large dark form filling the driver window from a foot away before spinning the truck around in the snow to escape.
