Daytime sightings by hunters near Headwaters Ridge in Elliot State Forest

On the fourth day of an elk hunt, the witness stopped on a ridgeline trail and watched a large upright brown figure across a ravine. The figure walked on two legs, then sat on a downed alder with its back to the witness, swinging its legs and appearing to pick foliage for about 30 minutes while the witness watched through binoculars and a rifle scope and whistled to get its attention. The witness then left up the ridge without approaching and rejoined the hunting party at the vehicles.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1995)

The guest and his girlfriend camped on a secluded Oregon beach in August 1995. Over about half an hour they watched a tall black figure pace the beach, then approach to close range where hair, massive shoulders, long arms and a gliding walk became clear. Frightened, they fled to their car, sought help at a nearby RV camp, and the next morning photographed large footprints in the sand. The guest later shared the photos with researchers and returned the next year to trace a worn trail into the forest.

It then stepped behind the tree and ran away loudly, snapping branches, after which the witness ran back toward camp and met the companion.

Cryptid sighting near Culver, Oregon (1994)

The witness and several friends drove to the top of a desert butte late at night to continue partying. A silent light approached, hovered overhead, and shined a bright spotlight on the group, followed by several orange lights rising from the valley floor into the sky. While driving down, three of them saw a huge bipedal shape cross the road and followed it on foot, getting close enough to hear it breathing before it left silently. At sunrise the two who remained saw several tall slender gray-haired humanoids with yellow eyes peeking from cover and felt they were being escorted off the land.

Skateboarders have encounter near Fort Stevens

Two skateboarders riding ahead of their group heard a high scream then close low grunts off a paved bike trail. One crouched to look and saw a very hairy black bipedal animal crouched about 10 yards away that they had run past. The animal stood to about 6 to 7 feet tall, then ran upright into thick brush swinging its arms, moving very fast and loudly through deadfall before going silent. The pair fled to their companions and a later search of the dead brush found no tracks or sign.
