Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1984)
Account
In the mid-1980s the witness was riding a bike home around 1 a.m. on a moonlit July night. A huge black horse-sized figure paralleled him across a field for about three-quarters of a mile, looking at him while moving effortlessly. It came to trees at the end of the field and went in without emerging on the other side.
