Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1949)

1949–1950 middle of the night Oregon 1 witness

Account

The driver was going home alone on a cold rainy night and caught a brief glimpse in the headlights of a very large hairy figure standing in bushes off the road. Something long with hanging white hair appeared to be tucked under its arm. Days later the driver learned an elderly neighbor who kept goats had disappeared and a separate violent death had occurred nearby.
