Class A First-hand BFRO #10095

Large truck halts in front of sasquatch on I-84

December 1985 night, about 1:30 a.m. Pendleton, Umatilla County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Around Christmas 1985 a driver was hauling east over Cabbage Hill on I-84 around 1:30 a.m. when a blondish-brown human-like creature crossed in front of the truck. He stopped with it in his headlights about two feet away and watched it for about a minute. It slapped the hood with both hands and then walked and jogged away into the woods, while his co-driver woke only in time to see it leaving.
