Class B First-hand BFRO #412

Cousins followed for a quarter mile

BFRO YEAR: 94 or 95 sunset South Of Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative drove into a forested area near lava flows and walked a short distance down a trail to watch the sunset. They heard grunting and other sounds and noticed bushes moving as something appeared to follow them for about a quarter mile. Back at the car, something very close screamed and shook the bushes violently, frightening them into quickly driving away.
