Class B First-hand BFRO #3820

Sasquatch evidence near Mount McLoughlin

Fall 1979 Klamath Falls, Jackson County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were hiking in fresh snow with no prior tracks ahead. They found very large human-like tracks with a long stride and followed them about two miles. Near a turn the tracks stopped, snow clumps rolled down an embankment and brush moved as if something had just jumped uphill, and the pair left quickly.
