So. Oregon man hears late night footsteps around mobile home, by Jump-off Joe Creek Rd. near Grants Pass

Fall 1978 maybe 2 a.m. Grants Pass, Josephine County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was sleeping alone in a mobile home on a timbered property at night. They were awakened by loud, heavy bipedal footsteps circling the home on pine needles and remained in bed with a rifle out of fear. After a time the footsteps left, and the witness fell back asleep until morning without seeing what made them.
