S of Yoncalla - Brothers have morning sighting of two bigfoot like animals south of Yoncalla
Account
The witness and his brother drove up an old logging road south of Yoncalla to scout an elk hunting area and stopped at a mountaintop. From there they watched two dark, upright figures on a neighboring mountaintop as the larger one walked to an edge, looked toward them, then both turned and walked away over the mountain. Afterwards they spoke briefly with a horseback rider nearby and later with residents in town.
