Family finds large footprints and hears strange sounds near Pollock Pines

During a family walk on a mountain logging trail in the late 1970s, the group heard branches breaking around them. Near a recently fallen tree they found a wet blood-like substance on the log and a very large fresh human-like footprint that dwarfed an adult man's boot. The group quickly left the area and returned toward the cabin.

Missing Cattle and large footprints found

Two brothers operating a cattle ranch reported losing 300-400 lb calves without trace each May through early July over three to four years, and noted cattle panicking at their approach from a distance. In the third year they found a freshly killed calf with its neck broken, no teeth or claw marks, and a deep parallel-sided bruise, which a vet and others examined. Three sets of large footprints and unknown feces containing smashed bone were also reported.

Hunter hears strange noises near Montesano

While elk hunting with a relative, the witness reports the relative briefly saw a bigfoot down a side spur that was gone when they reversed to look. They then found grouse beds, piled feathers and a leg, plus one large track and a faint trail leading into the woods. The witness also noted an unusual odor and interpreted the sign as the creature hunting grouse.

Dirty white animal seen near apple orchard

The witness and a friend were sitting on a truck tailgate at night when they heard a disturbance in a crab apple tree. They approached and watched a large pale bipedal animal leave the tree and cross the highway with a swishing foot sound before disappearing. They searched with family that night without result, but the next day found scuffed tracks, broken branches, and fallen apples.

Witness observed two creatures crossing the road

About seven years earlier, while driving at dusk on a gravel road into the Blue Mountains, the witness came around a bend and saw two tall figures crossing the road in the headlights. The lights reflected yellow from their eyes while low sunlight illuminated their bodies. The witness stopped and got out after they walked into the woods but saw nothing further and found no tracks because the ground was hard.

A teenage girl witnesses a female bigfoot steal meat from a cooler

The witness, then a teenager staying in a tent at a logging camp, awoke at night and saw a female fur-covered figure standing at an illuminated cooler on the porch holding meat. After a standoff ended by a scream, the figure left with the meat as others emerged and observed its receding form and footprints.

The track had five distinct toes and another impression was several feet ahead. The witness also reports foul odors and an absence of wildlife in the general area on other trips.

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.
