2000–2005 Oregon EP 701

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (2000)

While still-hunting uphill alone in misty old growth, the witness first mistook a figure by a large fir for a bear coming down. As it dropped, he saw hands and a face and realized it was not a bear. It went on all fours behind tall ferns about fifty yards away, a loud knock sounded, and it vanished without any visible exit.

Close roadside observation of female upright animal along country road

Two companions driving slowly on a dark rural road late at night noticed a large dark figure standing on a steep bank at the road edge. They initially thought it was a large person in dark clothing, but as they passed within a few feet it turned its torso to look at them, showing a broad human-like face with a very wide upturned nose, a large torso with breasts, and a conical head with dark coarse hair. They concluded it did not appear human and continued driving without stopping.
