24 September 2002 Cascade Locks, Hood River County, Oregon Class A #5100

Hiker sees, attempts to photograph a sasquatch in the Columbia Gorge

While hiking alone and descending a dry trail, the witness heard a loud crashing nearby and saw a large black ape-like animal running uphill, visible from the waist up. The animal tripped, caught itself, showed its face in profile, then disappeared while a fallen tree rocked and a possible face was glimpsed. The witness photographed the area, heard and saw nothing further, found no other tracks, and later found possible scat in the direction the animal headed.

Bow hunter has sighting near Little Boulder Lk. Mt. Hood Nat. Forest, OR

The witness was archery hunting on a trail at dusk after separating from a companion to go different directions.

When the shape swiveled slightly, the witness backed away and returned quickly to the vehicle, visibly frightened.

Graceful creature ran by man when he was 15

While deer hunting alone from a stump, the witness saw a large human-like figure run through brush about 50 feet away. The figure was first mistaken for the witness's father, but the father then appeared elsewhere on foot, smaller and much noisier. The witness described the figure as huge, powerful, fast, graceful and quiet.

Summer 1968 Estacata, Hood River County, Oregon Class B #5816

Nighttime encounter by a worker at a logging site

In summer 1968 the witness was working alone at night installing radio equipment on a yarder at a remote logging landing in Oregon. After dark he felt watched and twice saw bright eyes, the second time discerning a large wide black shape about 20 feet away, accompanied by a repulsive odor. He left the site for the night and returned at daylight, finding no footprints. The next morning a crew member showed him heavy barrels that had been moved, which the witness associated with the animal.
