Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

A woman searching for mushrooms first mistook a figure for a man chopping with an axe. When the figure noticed her watching, it turned and moved backward up a steep incline on hands and feet without breaking eye contact. The movement was described as smooth and spider-like, and frightened her enough to leave.

Wood knock in Oregon

Two companions camping with minimal supplies at a remote lake heard faint knocking, cracking, and chatter-like voices in the evening, followed by a whoop, with elk bugles also audible. At the time they reasoned it might be other people, but years later after hearing similar sounds described as associated with large hairy beings, one concluded it may have been such beings.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

The witness was living alone in a trailer while clearing land for a cabin. Over several nights loud banging on a metal trailer woke him, culminating in screams that drew him toward a large excavation. He confronted two tall hairy figures and a smaller one trapped in the pit, with another large figure flanking him. After a tense standoff the group retrieved the small one and withdrew to the treeline, and the witness left the property at sunrise.

The following fall archery opener, five hunters camped at the same site and the guest shot a buck in hot weather, butchering it and hanging the inedible carcass across the creek about nine feet up. After 10 p.m. they heard heavy footfalls and feeding grunts, fired guns to scare the animal, found the carcass pulled down, rehung it higher twice with the same result, then listened as it stripped rib meat requiring great grip strength. One companion left for Alaska afterward and the guest never returned to the area.

After dinner visitors left, the partner fired a revolver at a large bipedal animal that jumped from the creek bed, then all three watched it run parallel across a sparsely timbered hillside in spotlight, noting reflective eyes and remarkable speed while keeping its gaze on them. The girlfriend reported it whistled at her, and next morning they found a single partial footprint in hard clay.
