Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1979)
Account
The witness and a friend were sleeping in an open-screen cabin when rocks began hitting the roof and a large rock smashed a tree with audible force. The friend ran uphill while the witness watched a massive dark hairy figure rise from behind bushes, push one down, step over it, and disappear silently. A rock-filled hole matching a thrown rock was later found uphill.
