Sweet Home, Linn County, Oregon
1 witness
Account
The witness hiked about a mile up a road looking for animal tracks in snow and reached thick old-growth woods. From about 30 yards away he saw a roughly 7-foot figure with long black and slight grey hair that moved behind two trees and stayed still after he shouted and fired warning shots into a stump. A second similarly large entity then ran down the mountainside to his left breaking branches, and the witness backed out.
