Second-hand Oregon Bigfoot #2499

Fishermen hear screams, see a tree fall, and have their camp intruded upon

Oregon Bigfoot date: June, 1994-1995 late afternoon McKenna, Thurston County, Washington 6 witnesses

Account

About six people spent two days fishing and camping near a house by a river. On two occasions they heard loud screaming from the woods and later heard branches breaking across the river. Shortly after they moved, a tree fell across the river onto the spot where they had just been fishing. When they returned to the house they found tents knocked over and sleeping gear torn up and soaked in foul-smelling urine, which they burned, prompting most to leave.
