Footsteps near Wallowa, Oregon (2007)
Account
Ten years later the guest returned to the same area with his wife and dogs to camp and hunt. Over several quiet nights they heard slow footsteps circling the large cabin tent and stepping on a tarp. A finger was seen pressing and scratching the tent fabric near the center top, prompting the guest to rack a shotgun and the visitor to leave. In the morning he found only disturbed dust and a possible heel mark and could not recreate the high reach.
