September 2012 Brookings, Curry County, Oregon Class A #36671

Face-to-face encounter at dusk along the Pacific Coast Trail

The witness and a companion were hiking back up a forested trail in the evening when they heard loud branch-breaking sounds, saw bushes sway, and smelled a strong garbage-like odor. After the forest went quiet, the witness turned and saw a very large, dark reddish-brown, ape-faced head peering over vegetation, which watched curiously for a few seconds before moving behind a tree. The companion heard the sounds and smelled the odor but did not see the figure, and the pair quickly returned to their vehicle.

Odor in Oregon (2010)

While wading late in the day, the witness felt hair rise and smelled sudden rancid carrion. A large beaver rushed downstream past him and the sense of something nearby in tall grass intensified. He watched for a bear, then walked to his rig and left without seeing the source.

Witness recalls face to face encounter with creature near Myrtle Point

In 1971 the witness was alone watching TV at the parents' rural house near Myrtle Point. After hearing dogs bark, smelling a strong foul odor, and hearing footsteps on an outside plank, she saw a tall hunched hairy female figure pass a glass door. The figure stopped, turned toward her and made eye contact, after which she fainted and was later found on the floor by her parents. Her father searched outside with a flashlight but found nothing.

Odor in Oregon

Before the caller joined him, her husband hiked a trail off logging roads near the Oregon coast with a friend and his dog to go fishing. The dog froze and refused to move as a putrid smell appeared from nowhere. They coaxed the dog onward, fished the day, and had no issues on the return.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

[name withheld] and a friend, ages about 10-11, were hiking unsupervised from an expedition base camp in the Cascades when they found drag marks and a crude log teepee structure. His friend climbed to peer inside and came face-to-face with a hair-covered, bear-like but man-like creature using a stick, then fled in terror to camp. The group stayed the night under guard and were told something large circled camp all night before they evacuated at dawn.

BFRO YEAR: 1979-80 Douglas County, Oregon Class B #2274

Late night up-close encounter in the Umpqua Nat'l Forest near Toketee Falls

The witness and a companion were sleeping on the ground at camp while deer hunting after forgetting tent poles. During the night the witness felt fingers touching his beard and smelled a strong odor. After he sat up and shouted, something large moved away through brush on two legs making loud leaf-crunching noise. No tracks were found with a flashlight, and the witness later concluded it was a Bigfoot.
