Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (2005)
Account
The witness was riding as a passenger on a late-night drive with family when the forest lit up brightly and many small eyeshine appeared on both sides of the road. Shortly after on a straight stretch they found a red-haired hair-covered figure lying curled in their lane. They stopped, approached on foot to about forty feet, then left without photographing it out of concern for safety and privacy.
