Direct interview Oregon Bigfoot #201

Oregon Bigfoot date: August, 1986 or 1987 early morning Hood River County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was camping with four companions on the east side of Mt Hood. Early the next morning while at the tent, the witness watched two hair-covered figures about seventy feet away in berry bushes for about a minute to a minute and a half. The larger one reached for branches while the smaller one picked up a stick, then the larger grunted, took the smaller one's hand, and both left behind the trees. The companions did not see anything.
