Loud vocalizations heard on logging road 15 miles west of Yamhill

May 1984 around 10:30 pm Yamhill, Yamhill County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

Three people were together in forested hills northwest of Yamhill late at night when they heard a very low, prolonged howl-like scream from what seemed like a mile away. Roughly thirty minutes later they heard the same sound again from very close range, describing strong vibrations and intense fear. They left immediately without seeing the source, which the reporter later came to believe was Bigfoot.
