First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #5278

archaeology survey crew, finds possible BF nest.

August 1996 early afternoon Klamath Falls, Klamath County, Oregon 6 witnesses

Account

The witness, part of a six-person archaeology survey crew hiking an overgrown logging grade on Pelican Butte, describes finding a large ground structure of pine needles and twigs after following an owl uphill. The crew estimated it at about seven feet across and interpreted it as a possible bigfoot nest in a remote area unused for decades. No creature was seen and no photograph was taken.
