Sasquatch sighting near Estacada, Oregon (1989)

Four youths went hunting past the guest's camp on a logged area near Estacada. After feeling uneasy in young fir trees and hearing a loud snap near a brush pile, they noticed something pacing them in brush. About 100 yards from the paved road they saw the head and shoulders of a seven-foot dark silhouette between poplar trees at sunset; it shifted its weight, confirming it was solid, and they retreated to the road.

Unseen large animal stalks jogger at night along trail near Elmira

Footsteps in Oregon (1989)

Two seventeen-year-old friends camped at the back of an empty wooded campground north of Crater Lake, sleeping on a tarp. After hearing howling earlier, heavy rhythmic bipedal steps approached along the treeline and stopped about twenty feet away, then retreated very quietly with only twigs breaking. Closer multiple howls followed, so they grabbed their gear and fled in their vehicle, later noticing strange cloud shapes while driving east in shock.

Tracks near Flagler County (1989)

The hunter describes years of activity in the same woods: a palmetto torn apart and made into a bed, a shot deer that vanished with a large human-like track across a stream, oranges taken without trace and a wild orange later left on his stand, a panther-like growl followed by a tall black bent-over biped, being followed out while dragging deer, and a snake tied in a knot. He believes a skunk ape travels the waterways and was avoiding leaving sign.
