Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1995)

The guest and his girlfriend camped on a secluded Oregon beach in August 1995.

Frightened, they fled to their car, sought help at a nearby RV camp, and the next morning photographed large footprints in the sand. The guest later shared the photos with researchers and returned the next year to trace a worn trail into the forest.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1994)

The second guest says in the mid-1990s while on an eight-night solo hike in southern Oregon he camped at a ridge divide and found a large bare footprint and smeared scuffle-like prints. After dark something black moved in an amphitheater about 75 to 100 feet away, drank at a pond for a minute or more on all fours, then circled his camp bipedally and stared at him with icy gray eyes before leaving. He did not use his flashlight and felt the being warned him not to.

Two separate sets of large footprints found

The witness reports finding footprints attributed to two large creatures around a rented ranch house in frozen winter conditions.
