Oregon Bigfoot #367
Family sees stooped-over creature walking along forest line
July 1991
clear summer day
LaGrande, Umatilla County, Oregon
Account
The witness and family were picnicking near Deadmans Pass when they noticed a figure sitting and swaying at the forest line across a ravine about a half-mile away. They watched for four or five minutes until it stood up, revealing great height, then walked stooped into the woods in a few long steps. The witness concluded it was not a bear and said it looked and moved much like the subject of the Patterson-Gimlin film.
