Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1995)
Account
The witness was lying by a dying fire at night when a companion dog growled and a loud stick break was heard. The witness shone a dim light uphill and saw glowing eyes behind a tree, then a huge black hairy figure that squatted with hands on the ground about ten feet away. It stared, then moved downhill alternating standing and squatting while keeping eye contact before the witness fled to a tent.
