Hiker has a possible daytime sighting near Crater Lake
The witness was hiking a mountain trail with three children who had run ahead. He noticed a large upright hairy figure moving behind the treeline about 50 to 100 yards away, watching it for less than a minute as it moved through brush and woods. He did not alert the children at the time and did not photograph it. About a year later after seeing a television program about similar sightings in the area, he decided to share the experience.
Creature observed running on hind legs
The witness group had set up camp and walked up the mountain to scout for an upcoming elk hunt. From about 200 yards away in an open spot they watched a large black creature running away upright on two legs at high speed. The witness noted experience hunting black bears and stated the creature was not a bear or any known animal, estimating it at about 8 feet tall.
Miner reports pre-dawn road crossing near Silverton
The witness was driving alone to work before dawn when headlights illuminated a tall upright figure descending an embankment and crossing the highway. The figure paused briefly in front of a warning sign, looked toward the vehicle, then went over the opposite embankment out of view. The witness slowed briefly then left in fear and later returned in daylight to find large indentations descending the embankment.
