Boys hear moaning call from bedroom window

The witness and a companion were awake late in an upstairs bedroom with the window open while photographing the moon. They heard a loud, human-like low-pitched moan that seemed to rise in pitch and approach the house for about ten seconds, then stopped after the window was shut. Nothing was seen that night or found in the orchard the next morning, and the witness later felt the sound matched a recording heard online.

Couple has possible daylight encounter near Proxy Falls

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.
