First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #4362

Creature observed watching mother and son at a pond

14 August 2008 early afternoon Randle, Lewis County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative were at their yard pond when they heard a limb snap and noticed a large two-legged figure watching them from the trees. As they moved toward the house the figure appeared to follow at a distance, stopping and moving with them, leading to a stare-down. The witness fired a shot into the air, the figure moved farther into the trees, and a strong foul odor was noticed.
