Investigator summary Oregon Bigfoot #380

A couple travelling by train observe a sasquatch for several minutes as it observes the train during an unscheduled control stop

February 1993 afternoon The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Two people traveling in a private train compartment during an unscheduled afternoon stop watched a dark hairy figure in a snowy clearing between the train and the river. Over about eight minutes the figure alternately crouched to look toward the train and stood to move a few steps, while small dark birds were nearby. The witnesses felt the creature did not see them and it was still watching when the train departed.
