Creature seen walking along the edge of forest

Seven people waiting near railroad tracks at dusk claimed to see a large brown hairy creature walking along the distant forest edge. The being moved south in a lurching manner while looking back at them, frightening the group. They put the children in the car and later avoided discussing the sighting until a newspaper notice led them to call it Bigfoot.

Footsteps heard outside of camper trailer near Bear Valley National Bald Eagle Refuge

The witness and a young relative spent the night in a camp trailer near the family house. Over several hours at night they heard heavy bipedal footsteps circling the trailer, brushing and clawing sounds on the siding, door and ceiling vent, and later blows to the trailer. The witness reported a brief glimpse of a long shaggy finger-like shape through the vent screen, and said the sounds withdrew when a car approached and returned later.

Camper has night sighting near Crater Lake

The witness was camping with relatives south of Crater Lake and sleeping alone in a tent at night. While lying in a sleeping bag, the witness heard footsteps approach from the wooded side and saw a human-like outline shadowed in a distant campfire glow. The figure bumped the corner of the tent, shaking it, paused as if staring, then moved toward the front where it could no longer be heard on pavement.
