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.
Loud vocalizations heard on logging road 15 miles west of Yamhill
Three people were together in forested hills northwest of Yamhill late at night when they heard a very low, prolonged howl-like scream from what seemed like a mile away.

College students get approached by sasquatch and shoot at it
Four college geology students camping at night heard howling from a canyon and then saw the outline of a huge bipedal animal on the road in moon and campfire light. When the animal approached, one student fired a rifle several times, after which it crossed the road and moved noisily up the opposite slope through brush. A responding deputy examined the area the next day and reported indistinct impressions, small pushed-over trees and long uphill strides, but no blood or fur.
Possible screams heard by campers near Indian Lake
The witness was at a summer youth camp at Indian Lake in the mid-1970s. At night around the campfire the group heard loud yells from the direction of the dam that seemed to get closer, and counselors sent everyone to bed. Later in a teepee the witness felt the ground shake with loud booming steps and was held still by a counselor; the camp broke quickly the next morning.
Sasquatch sighting near Rainier, Oregon (1970)
The witness describes three years of repeated encounters after his family moved onto a wooded hillside property. Four ape-like animals repeatedly approached the trailers, peered in windows, vocalized at night, left tracks, damaged structures, and killed livestock. The father shot the largest animal in the shoulder near the pump house, after which the animals moved faster and more cautiously but continued the activity. Forestry and law-enforcement visitors reportedly told the father to stop shooting, and timber workers and well drillers also encountered the animals.

Odor in Oregon
The guest and three companions camped several days in remote central Oregon to look into Bigfoot. They smelled a skunky BO odor, felt something brush tents, found large and human-sized barefoot prints, heard human-like grunts, found torn branches and an uprooted tree, had apples taken from high up with sticker skin peeled, and saw a bulky dark figure at the treeline captured as a blurry night-vision still. They left early due to bad weather.
Howl in Oregon
Over about two weeks of night deliveries, the driver heard howls and unexplained slaps on the box truck in the same area.

Howl in Oregon
While glassing with a companion days before elk season, the witness heard a loud cow-like calling Howl from a steep creek bottom. The sound moved to the ridge top in about five to ten minutes, far faster than he felt a person could climb. It stopped at the top and was not identified as elk or bear.
