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.

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.

Boater finds footprints on bank of Rogue River

The witness rowed alone upstream, beached the boat, and hiked to a fishing spot where a mud layer on a rock shelf held a set of very large tracks. The tracks were estimated at about two feet long, crossed the shelf from the water, and continued up a very steep clay bank without shortening stride. No creature was seen and no other witnesses were present for the find.
