Five men hear tree knocks, and begin exchange of vocalizations and taps while on an expedition near Estacada

A group of five hiked an old closed ridge road around midnight under moonlight. After the leader produced knocks, responsive knocking came from timber about 50 feet away where a shadowy figure was seen, and the leader exchanged sounds with it. As the group hiked back to their cars they were flanked with glowing eyes, vocalizations and rustling.

Summer 1968 Estacata, Hood River County, Oregon Class B #5816

Nighttime encounter by a worker at a logging site

In summer 1968 the witness was working alone at night installing radio equipment on a yarder at a remote logging landing in Oregon. After dark he felt watched and twice saw bright eyes, the second time discerning a large wide black shape about 20 feet away, accompanied by a repulsive odor. He left the site for the night and returned at daylight, finding no footprints. The next morning a crew member showed him heavy barrels that had been moved, which the witness associated with the animal.

The girlfriend reported it whistled at her, and next morning they found a single partial footprint in hard clay.

BFRO YEAR: Around 1992 Walla Walla Wa, Umatilla County, Oregon Class A #692

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.
