Oregon Bigfoot #5183
Group witness A family of Sasquatch.
September 1978
night
Historic Town, Jackson County, Oregon
Account
The witness and companions set up landing lights by a reservoir at dusk after previously hearing activity. When four entities appeared across a gully on a deer path, they illuminated them and watched them feed and take cover. After yelling and throwing rocks nearby, one adult came out and descended the hill bipedally, prompting the group to leave.
