First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #765

Hunter hears bipedal walking near campsite at night

September 2003 night Sisters Or Detriot, Marion County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness and two companions camped overnight beside a truck on a remote road after losing a shot bear in a brushy clearcut. Near midnight the witness awoke to loud, fast footsteps that stopped upon reaching the truck, then quiet sneaking footsteps circling the vehicle and faint breathing close behind him. He stayed still with fear and never saw the source before it waited on the road and then left loudly down the road out of sight.
