Family has encounter with two creatures while camping at Molalla River
Account
While camping with family, the witness and a sibling were coloring outside when they saw two bipedal figures, one larger and one smaller, dart behind trees. The witness fled to the car and then saw one figure crouching in bushes staring toward the mother. After a young sibling retrieved a BB gun, the figure turned and ran into the woods on two feet.
