S of Tenmile near Roseburg - Black BF chased boys along ridge
Account
Two boys were chased uphill and along a ridge by a large black apelike entity that seemed to herd them rather than catch them. The older boy shot it multiple times, causing it to slump to its knuckles twice, but it kept advancing while screaming loudly. The boys fled without seeing when it stopped, and tracks and a large odorous bed were later found.
