Hunter hears wood-on-wood knocking

The witness was hunting alone on foot in the morning when he heard repeated groups of rapid wood-on-wood impacts ahead of him. He followed the sounds as they stayed ahead until they were close but still hidden by a rise across a creek, then became uneasy and retreated to the road and camp. He stayed in the camper the rest of the day. Years later after reading a newspaper account of tree-whacking, he concluded the sounds were Bigfoot communication.

Vocalizations heard in Lookingglass

Late at night in summer 1989, the witness and two cousins stepped outside after movies and heard a loud deep guttural sound from the creek bottom rise into a 5-10 second howl. Frightened by its apparent size and closeness, they went back inside and locked the door. The witness described the end of the sound as more wolf-like than cow-like and later compared it to a reference Ohio recording.

Sasquatch sighting near Estacada, Oregon (1989)

Four youths went hunting past the guest's camp on a logged area near Estacada.

About 100 yards from the paved road they saw the head and shoulders of a seven-foot dark silhouette between poplar trees at sunset; it shifted its weight, confirming it was solid, and they retreated to the road.

Witnesses observe rocks being thrown into campsite

A group of teens and adult instructors were setting up camp on a ridge at dusk when bowling-ball-sized rocks began flying into the teens' camp from an unseen source.

The group sat back-to-back through the night and left the next day without discussing it.

Large truck halts in front of sasquatch on I-84

Around Christmas 1985 a driver was hauling east over Cabbage Hill on I-84 around 1:30 a.m. when a blondish-brown human-like creature crossed in front of the truck. He stopped with it in his headlights about two feet away and watched it for about a minute. It slapped the hood with both hands and then walked and jogged away into the woods, while his co-driver woke only in time to see it leaving.
