Driver has early evening road sighting on Interstate 84 southeast of Pendleton

The witness was driving slowly westbound on I-84 in fog and snow when they passed a large, dark, shaggy creature sitting or leaning against the guardrail beside the lane. The creature appeared to watch traffic pass, turning its head from side to side, with snow streaked on its long hair or fur-like coat. The witness saw no stalled vehicles or reason for a person to be in that isolated, steep, cold location and later wondered if it could have been Sasquatch.

Woman describes possible encounter while elk hunting near Pilot Rock

The witness and a relative were waiting in dense brush while bugling for elk when they heard approaching knocking, rustling and vocal sounds and noticed a strong unpleasant odor. They left the hiding spot as crashing sounds followed them uphill. Other members of the hunting party later said they had seen a figure walking on the hill where the pair had not been. The group later returned to the site and found unusual scat.

September 1975 Pilot Rock, Umatilla County, Oregon Class B #695

A pheasant hunter's sighting near Pilot Rock cemetary.

The witness was walking home from pheasant hunting on a ridge before dark. He noticed a dark upright figure about a quarter-mile away walking toward the mountains. He shouted twice; it turned its whole upper body to look at him once, then kept walking. He watched for about 15 minutes until it disappeared, speculating it had been lying down before standing up.
