Sasquatch sighting near Myrtle Creek, Oregon (1981)
Account
The guest says at seventeen he walked to town after an argument and walked home late at night. After hearing splashing under two bridges and smelling a strong odor, he heard four heavy footsteps and found himself face to face about two feet from a huge dark creature with glowing green eyes. He says he was frozen for about two minutes, then it walked away silently and he ran to a store payphone to call his mother.
