Second-hand Oregon Bigfoot #354

Group of people witness two Sasquatch run through a clearing

November 1997 afternoon Tillamook County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

Three women at a hunting camp reported watching hairy bipedal creatures run across a clearcut below the camp. The first creature ran out from one treeline, retreated when two dirt bike riders appeared, then reappeared with a smaller second creature and both crossed to the opposite treeline. The reporter was away hunting and relayed what the women told him, later pacing the distance and finding no tracks.
