Footsteps near Sweet Home, Oregon

The witness was scouting remote mountain roads for fishing access when he found a newly placed stacked rock pile blocking the road. After stopping to inspect it, he heard something charge down the steep slope toward him and stop when he drew his pistol, then parallel him back to his vehicle unseen. He returned later with a hunting partner and heard coordinated whoops from multiple positions, and a few days later with a larger group found extensive tree damage, possible structures, and three sizes of bare human-like tracks.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

The witness parked an ATV and hiked alone on a trail through dense young pines. He noticed something staying still in the trees, shouted with no response, then saw a large dark mass moving through and violently shaking the trees. He fired shotgun slugs while retreating about 100 feet as the mass kept pace inside the treeline, and believes he must have hit it.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

The guest was elk hunting deep in a canyon and started hiking out up a skid road. He sensed something wrong and noticed a huge dark mass paralleling him in the brush, matching his steps. He saw portions of an arm and long leg as it followed him for about 100 yards until he reached the main road and left.

Cryptid sighting near Detroit, Oregon

During a summer camp, four youths hiked to a small lake with a vertical log sticking out of the water. On the second day the log went underwater and resurfaced, then a wide dark orb-like mass moved from the log location in an S shape toward a relative on a float. It disappeared about 10 to 15 feet away, and the group ran back to camp.

While driving home after letting his dogs out, the witness stopped and glassed a red taillight-colored dot. Through binoculars it was a large perfectly round orb descending from the sky into timber about a mile away. He fumbled with his phone and got no photo, then told his wife and neighbor.

Howl in Oregon

While glassing with a companion days before elk season, the witness heard a loud cow-like calling Howl from a steep creek bottom. The sound moved to the ridge top in about five to ten minutes, far faster than he felt a person could climb. It stopped at the top and was not identified as elk or bear.

Cousins followed for a quarter mile

The witness and a relative drove into a forested area near lava flows and walked a short distance down a trail to watch the sunset. They heard grunting and other sounds and noticed bushes moving as something appeared to follow them for about a quarter mile. Back at the car, something very close screamed and shook the bushes violently, frightening them into quickly driving away.
