First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 343

Sasquatch sighting near Hood River, Oregon (1978)

5 July 1978 about 1:30 in the morning Hood River, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The guest was staying at his grandparents' house after berry picking and woke around 1:30 a.m. to use the bathroom. A motion sensor floodlight came on outside the bedroom windows, and looking out he saw a huge albino hairy creature a few feet away shielding its eyes from the light. It stared in the window, stepped back when he made a sound, then walked away with long strides while giving a loud screech, leaving deep large tracks found the next day.
