Copper Creek - Couple hears screams, sees weird lights

2 March 1996 night Molalla, Clackamas County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

Three people were camped for the night in a truck at a gravel pit by a creek and road. Late at night they heard a loud scream from a canyon and later another closer scream, staying in the truck out of fear. Around 2 a.m. their tied dog became highly agitated and they heard two very close thuds described as like a limb breaking and hitting the ground.
