First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #271

[name withheld] hears whistles while camping

1998 dusk McKenzie Bridge, Lane County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

Six people were camping by a lake in the Three Sisters Mountains area when loud whistling sounds were heard near camp. Three of the group listened for about 45 minutes at dusk as the sound moved along a bluff and kept its distance when approached, then heard it again close to camp at dawn. A later search of trails found no sign, and the hearers said the sound matched nothing they knew.
