Rock throwing near Salem, Oregon
Account
The witness camped at a free dispersed site blocking a trail to the river with family and friends. During the afternoon and evening the group heard bipedal steps, rocks thrown through trees, and a boulder landing nearby, then saw a large dark-haired individual moving over boulders. At midnight a reddish individual looked into a tent, approached the witness, made eye contact, then swung into dense brush, after which the group packed out.
