Sasquatch sighting near Welches, Oregon (2017)

fall of twenty seventeen night, around 8 o'clock Welches, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a friend were camping in the Mount Hood National Forest when they walked to a nearby creek at night. After the friend threw a red glow stick into the water, the witness shone a bright flashlight and saw a low, cougar-like shape with a glowing yellow eye on the far bank. The shape stood to about eight feet tall on two legs, appeared as a black mass that seemed to absorb the light, then dropped down and hovered over the creek without sound before both men fled to their tent. The witness prayed through the night, left in the morning without searching for tracks, and reported lasting fear and vivid dreams afterward.
