Brothers find tracks in a snow bank near Tam McArthur Rim

The witness and his brother were backpacking off-trail when they found multiple barefoot prints in a snowbank at about 6000 ft. The prints were described as much longer and wider than a size-ten foot, even allowing for melting. They could not explain who would be barefoot in snow at that elevation and raised a brave hiker or a bigfoot as possibilities.

Reoccurring activity on a farm near Fife Lake

Around 3:30 a.m. on a warm night in late summer 2011, the witness ran outside with a rifle and flashlight after hearing a chicken squawking. About 100 feet away behind the garage, the witness saw huge orange eyes staring from above a chicken coop and estimated the figure at 6 to 7 feet tall. After briefly looking down to ready the rifle, the figure was gone, and the witness heard something crashing fast through brush to the southwest with heavy breathing. A chicken was found alive but missing rear feathers with a pile of feathers nearby and no digging.

A person is awaken by whoops and whistles, in Mt. Hood area.

The witness spent a week sleeping on a second-story screened porch near Government Camp and heard distant howls and whoops on the first night and soft whistles from multiple directions on two other nights. On one dark night the witness felt watched from a tall pine while whistles came from another direction. The witness later thought the sounds matched those on a TV show and an investigator recording, but also allowed they could be a multi-night prank or natural sounds.
