Third-hand Oregon Bigfoot #446

Two men see bear pursued by Bigfoot - secondhand tale

Oregon Bigfoot date: 1985 (mid 1980's) afternoon Josephine County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Two prospectors cooking dinner at their camp heard movement and watched a bear run past the camp, splash through the creek, and continue into the forest. Immediately afterward they watched a bigfoot follow the same route past the camp and across the creek while ignoring them. After a stunned pause they examined the creek bank and reported finding bear tracks and large bigfoot tracks, including one bigfoot track overlying a bear track.
