Sasquatch sighting near Myrtle Creek, Oregon (1981)
Account
After an argument the guest walked home late at night and crossed two bridges where he heard wading sounds and smelled a strong odor. Just past the mile marker he heard and felt four heavy footsteps, looked right, and found himself face to face about two feet from a very wide dark figure with glowing green eyes. He was unable to move for about two minutes before it walked away silently, after which he ran to a store and called home.
