First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #834

Screams heard at Odell Lake

28 June 2004 late afternoon Oakridge, Lane County, Oregon

Account

The group had just set up camp for a multi-day fishing trip when they began hearing loud echoing calls described as a mix of howl and scream lasting about five seconds each. The sounds seemed to come from above railroad tracks at the west end of the lake and continued for roughly 35 minutes despite shouting from another camper.
