First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #4746

Group have experience at Mollala Falls

22 August 2009 early afternoon Molalla, Multnomah County, Oregon

Account

A group hiking in a wooded hollow heard a prolonged low growl and movement in nearby trees and retreated to their car while still hearing the sounds. At the car, one companion froze while staring toward the trailhead where the group believed the animal had followed them. After driving away, that companion described a tall black fur-covered wolf-like being that stood on two legs and growled.
