Oregon Bigfoot #3937
Soldier sees something watching them
July 1972
night
Unknown County, Idaho
Account
The witness was camped with fellow soldiers above the treeline during a training exercise. A bipedal form emerged from the treeline below, approached to about 25 yards from the dying fires, stared for several minutes, then turned and walked back down the mountain. The witness heard it moving away, saw only a form with red eyes and no other detail, and later heard other soldiers discussing the sighting.
