Camper details possible encounters in 2005 and again in summer 2009 near Trout Lake
A group was camping overnight at a remote forested lakeside camp. After hearing distant screams that seemed to shift position and prolonged branch-breaking around camp, the witness stayed awake listening while others slept. The witness heard heavy running and breathing pass the RV and noticed moonlight through the windows dim briefly, then later the companion's son fled his tent to the RV reporting tree-banging, movement, darkness at the tent, and a voice imitation. No one saw anything, and the next morning knocking elicited whistle replies from the woods.

The witness and about ten friends were camping at Rainbow Falls State Park during the summer.

Boy scout hears repeated screams
As a young scout camping overnight in a tent away from the main camp, the witness lay awake while his tent mate slept.

Woman recalls her possible sighting while deer hunting near Elgin
While waiting on stand during a rifle deer hunt, the witness watched a brown man-like figure walk upright into view and stop beside a lone pine tree, feeling it was looking at her.

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.

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.

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.
