Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about Bigfoot in Oregon.
That's correct, Bigfoot in Oregon.
I found this first article over at oregonencyclopedia.org
talking a little bit about the history of Bigfoot in that
state. It's written by Robert Walls.
This is Bigfoot Sasquatch. Legend tells us this Bigfoot is
a large and mysterious humanoid creature purported to inhabit
the wild and forested areas of Oregon and the West Coast of
North America. Bigfoot is also known as
Sasquatch, an anglization of the of the name Sasquats from the
Hako Millennium language spoken by First Nations peoples in
southwestern British Columbia. Most people who believe in
Bigfoot's existence or claim to have seen one assert that they
are hair covered bipeds with ape like features up to 8 feet tall
that leave correspondingly large footprints.
They are generally characterized as non aggressive animals whose
shyness and human like intelligence make them elusive
and thus rarely seen, though some wilderness travelers claim
to have smelled their stench or heard their screams and
whistles. A few physical anthropologists,
such as Jeff Mildred at Idaho State University and Grover
Krantz of Washington State University, have espousy
biological reality of Bigfoot, based on their examination of
the 1967 film footage of a purported Bigfoot taken in
Northern California's Klamath Mountains, or on their
morphological analysis of footprints, some of which
exhibit dermal ridges as those found in the 1980s by AUS Forest
Service employee in the Blue Mountains of northeastern
Oregon. Most scientists, however, remain
skeptics and dismiss the phenomena as the product of the
of the mistaken identification of known animals or elaborate
hoaxes with Prince cleverly planted to deceive.
Over time, stories about Bigfoot have entered into oral tradition
and become part of regional folklore.
The historical record of Bigfoot in Oregon's in Oregon Country
begins in 19 O four with sightings of a hairy Wildman by
settlers in the Sixes River area and the Coast Range.
Similar accounts by miners and hunters followed in later
decades. In 1924, miners on Mount Saint
Helens claimed to have been attacked by giant apes, an
incident widely reported in the Oregon press.
Local Native Americans used this event to discuss publicly their
own knowledge of the Siete Co Hersuit Wild Indians of the
Woods traditions first documented in 1865 by by
ethnographer George Gibbs. After 1958, woods workers east
and West of the Cascade Mountains began to report seeing
creatures and discovering their immense tracks along logging
roads, enhancing public recognition of the Bigfoot name.
Witnesses observed these so-called humanoids crossing
roads at night, striding furtively through forest and
mountain terrain, or digging forward and eating ground
squirrels in rock piles. Bigfoot quickly entered into the
occupational culture of loggers, manifested as serious stories,
jokes, chainsaw sculptures, and fabricated prints as playful
pranks. By the 1970s, former Yeti hunter
Peter Byrne had established the Bigfoot Information Center at
The Dalles, gaining national media attention for his
documentation of eyewitness testimony and footprints adduced
as evidence for new species of primate.
Footprints In it dirt or snow continue to be found and
reported to various organized groups who have followed Byrne's
path. Native Americans in Oregon have
increasingly situated Bigfoot within traditional belief
systems as beings with deeply rooted cultural significance.
Tribes in coastal Oregon related Bigfoot to ancient tales of wild
men who worked near villages in Lefty Mets tracks, as described
in Clara Pearson's tale from Nehalem Tillamook.
Members of Plateau tribes, such as those at Warm Springs
Reservation, identify Bigfoot as a stick and in a diverse
category of potentially hostile beings who stole salmon or
confused people by whistling, causing them to become lost.
Sightings and stories continue on reservations today,
representing a spiritual connection to the pre contact
past and resilience of indigenous cultural heritage.
Most recently, Bigfoot in popular culture has devolved
into a series of sports mascots, children's entertainment and
cryptozoological reality shows. It has also been playfully
promoted in state legislation and celebrations.
Politicians in both Oregon and Washington have proposed bills
to protect the creature from hunters and Harry Humanoids have
served as official state mascots, first as Harrison
Bigfoot for Washington Centennial in 1989 and then and
then Seski the Sasquatch for Oregon's Sasquatural in 2009.
A number of prominent writers have reflected thoughtfully on
tradition and literally explores changing attitudes toward the
natural world. Yeah, pretty cool.
And then article kind of goes on down from there.
But I think it gives you a pretty good idea how this thing
really, this whole concept of Bigfoot has been around for
many, many years, has been around and many traditions for
thousands of years. And in really in the early 1900s
when white started to come into contact with these areas, it
kind of emerged into popular culture.
Today is is Bigfoot we'll take a look at some of these sightings
over here from bfro.net. This first sighting as dated
2011 says September Baker County, Oregon location details
elevation 7821 feet so you're up here in the mountains always
nearest town Sumter, Oregon nearest Rd.
Cracker Creek road. Now I looked in the map there
and Sumter seems to be kind of in the West central or excuse
me, the East Central area of Oregon there, you know, you have
on the western part of the state looks pretty, pretty green, say
on the map. And then as you get into the
interior, it starts to get a lot drier.
But this area seems to be at a higher elevation and you have
more logging, more tree growth there, it appears observed.
I was part of a group that spent the summer and fall on the side
of a mountain several 1000 feet up, reopening old gold mines
that have been closed during World War 2.
Phone reception was poor and one evening at sunset Steve asked me
to take him up to the top switch back so he could make a phone
call. I drove him the relatively short
distance on the ATV, turned it off and walked about 100 yards
away to give him some privacy. It started getting dark quickly,
as it does at that elevation, and cold.
I began mandering back to hopefully hurry him along.
As I approached a cluster of trees located just uphill from
the switch back, I suddenly heard the deepest, most resonant
growl I've ever experienced. It was clearly a warning.
At first I thought it was a big cat, but the tone was far too
deep. Expecting a short trip, I left
my rifle and shotgun at camp and only carried A1911 sidearm.
I quickly drew it. I was concerned for Steve as
whatever it was that stood between US and he was unaware of
any threat. I moved cautiously toward him
with both arms extended, sidearms at the ready.
I peered into the trees, but the combination of the dense cluster
and the dim light made it impossible to see anything.
As I finally passed the tree cluster and positioned myself
between Steve and the source of the growl, I glanced over my
right shoulder. Steve had noticed something was
wrong. He also had drawn his pistol,
still holding the phone in his other hand.
Just as I turned my head back toward the trees, I was stunned
to see an absolutely massive, tall creature hurrying toward
the tree cluster. It had to slide past me to get
there. Clearly it wasn't targeting me.
Once it reached the trees, all noise stopped.
I began backing up slowly. Had it been a Mountain Lion or
other large predator in those trees, I imagine there would
have been a commotion. But everything fell silent.
I remember being less shocked by its size than by how fast it
moved. I remember thinking this thing
could outrun a deer. From Steve's angle he couldn't
see it but the creature had crossed about 30 yards of knee
high brush which gave me a very clearview.
I reached the ATV and said simply, we're leaving and
hindsight after playing this in my mind 100 times, I believe
there may have been a female or juvenile in the trees.
It growled to warn me off and the adult hurried over to
intervene. This is speculative of course,
but I feel confident the large individual was coming to settle
things down. The 45ACP is a highly effective
round for personal defense at close range, but based on the
size and speed of this thing, if it had wanted me dead, I
wouldn't have had a chance. After that, Steve chose a new
location for phone calls much closer to camp. 2 weeks later,
he came back to camp in a panic. He'd heard a heavy thumping
steps behind him and turned to see one of the creatures running
up the mountain. We stayed a few more weeks, but
I didn't get much sleep. Oh wow, says also noticed the
creatures thighs were thick as my waist which is 32 inches.
Boy. Other witnesses One other
witness, Steve who was on the phone.
Other stories included in this report.
Time and conditions. Twilight dry, clear and cool
environment sided mountain near the top.
Follow up investigation report by BFR investigator Jeff
Robinson. I spoke with the witness by
telephone for approximately 45 minutes.
He was calling from his home in the southeast.
He is a mature, articulate man who spoke calmly but was clearly
still disturbed by his encounter.
He explained that it was his first and only experience of
this kind, and even a year later, the vivid imagery
continued to haunt him. The witnesses A retired Special
Forces soldier with extensive decorations from the Vietnam
conflict. He is an experienced tracker,
hunter and all around outdoorsman.
He described his military, especially as Manhunter, yet he
had never seen anything like the creature he encountered.
Initially the vocalization led him to believe he was dealing
with a large cat, but once he saw the creature he described it
as at least 2 1/2 meters tall with shoulders twice as wide as
any man. It had long muddy brown to
nearly black hair and a cream colored face.
During our conversation, he used Technical and military dragon,
describing how the growl seemed to come from the tree cluster,
yet the vibratory and Sonic impact made it feel like the
creature was standing beside him.
In the moments that followed, he witnessed a creature move
between him and his friend. Panic began to set in, not
because of fear alone, but because he realized his sidearm
would likely be ineffective against a creature of this size.
He emphasized the sheer girth of the creature's legs and its
rapid movement. He speculated that it was in
some kind of urgency or panic as well.
The witness had been staying in a local inn during this time in
the area. The innkeepers, a couple, were
well aware of large bipedal creatures reportedly inhabiting
the region. I interviewed them as well.
They confirmed the witness state at they're in along with Steve
and other miners during the mineral exploration season.
They recounted 2 additional sightings from the other miners
in July of 2012. They also took me to the
location of the reported encounter high in the hills
while we access the site by ATV. Late in the afternoon, one of
the innkeepers spotted a dark figure across the Ridge on a
rocky outcrop. We attempted to observe it
through blockers and a nine X scope but were unsuccessful.
The area is rugged and remote, only accessible by durable off
road vehicles, and is known for mysterious vocalizations and
sightings. All details from the innkeepers
aligned with the witnesses account.
Given the region's mining history, there is long standing
local lore about monsters in the hills.
Wow, that's pretty wild. And then it has a little bit of
a buyout here. About Jeff Robertson says he's a
software engineer and manufacturer representative.
As a teenager, he spent many nights raccoon hunting in
Georgia Forest. Strange and unexpectable events
during that time sparked his interest in researching the
elusive bipedal primates. Wow, very very cool.
The sightings dated November 15th, 1995.
Also Baker County location details says I'm a little
reluctant to reveal the exact location where the sighting
occurred. The person who gave me this
information likely wouldn't want a lot of people to know about
it, however, I will provide the exact location to an
investigator if they wish to contact me and it says nearest
town Baker, Oregon. This sighting was related to me
by a man I've known for over 20 years.
We've haunted and fished together many times and I've
never known him to tell tall tales.
He is well respected in his community.
He told me he had been cutting a load of firewood and was driving
down a dirt Rd. that runs from the bottom of the Canyon along
the Snake River up into the timber.
It was hunting season. From one point on the road, he
looked down the mountain and thought he saw a bear near a
salt box. These salt boxes are placed by
ranchers to provide salt blocks for cattle.
His intention was to shoot the bear, so he hurried down the
road and his pickup. There are many switchbacks on
that road and at times he couldn't see the animal.
When he got within 400 yards, he saw it again.
He said the creature stood up on his hind legs and quickly walked
40 to 50 yards before descending into a steep Creek bottom.
He said that if it had been a person, they would have been
dressed entirely in dark brown or black from head to toe, all
on one collar. He estimated the figure was over
6 feet tall. He also noticed there were no
other vehicles in the area and no other roads leading into that
location. He didn't stop to look for
footprints, he just kept driving past the spot, but with a very
uneasy feeling about what he had just seen.
Wow also noticed he was alone at the time, the sighting occurring
at Hills Canyon. The terrain there is extremely
steep and rugged, with numerous lava rims throughout the area.
It is intersected by many creeks, each of which has cut
steep gulleys, many which could be described as canyons.
The upper elevations are forested with pine and fir,
while the lower parts of the Canyon are covered mostly with
brush and alders along the Creek bottoms.
The hillsides are grass covered all the way down to the Snake
River which carved the entire region.
Elevation ranges from 8000 to 9000 feet at the top down to
about 1800 feet at the river. That's a pretty good
description. Very cool sighting this
sighting. Our encounter, I guess I should
say, is dated August 11th to 12th, 2023.
Clackamas County location details on the southeast side of
Mount Hood near Lamberson Butte. We had passed the ridgeline and
were camped at the tree line before the descent into Newton
Creek. Nearest town Rhododendron
nearest Rd. Highway 35 observed On the night
of August 11th, 2023, my partner and I were camping along the
Timberline Trail in Mount Hood National Forest.
Around 12:00 AM we were awakened by the sound of distant wood
knocks. We had stored our backpacks
several 100 feet from the campsite and only had water with
us, hoping to avoid attracting any predators.
Over the course of three hours we heard a total of 10 knocks in
volleys of three to five at a time.
The sound was clearly wood on wood coming from below our
position. I eventually fell back asleep.
We were nearing a 40 miles on our track, but our partner
stayed awake spooked by the noises.
Wow, these guys are right out there in the middle of the
timber it sounds like to hear these crazy wood knocking sounds
that we associate with Bigfoot so often.
Also notice our backpacks nearby were untouched, confirming there
were no bear or cougar that had been running rummaging for food.
Other witnesses to other stories.
I'm submitting this report after reading about a similar incident
in 2023 of August South of this location.
My partner and I both live in Plain WA, a very rural densely
forested area where long time hikers in Washington 80s and
neither of us had heard anything like this before since time and
conditions. Nighttime clear summer night
with visible stars and minimal cloud coverage.
Environment between the Ridge and tree line.
Follow up investigation by Matthew Moneymaker.
Although this is a Class B non visual encounter, it may be more
significant than a typical Class B of knocking sounds.
The behaviour described as unusual.
Combined with the location, it may suggest a recurring pattern
in which a Sasquatch returns to the specific area of Mount Hood
at the same time each year, possibly expecting to make
contact with others of its kind. This possibility makes the site
a strong candidate for targeted recording efforts, as the sounds
may be predictable in both time and location.
The loud and powerful knocking sounds reportedly carried for a
mile or more. You wouldn't need to be close to
hear them, you just need to be in the general facility.
Identifying the precise origin of the sounds could then follow.
I spoke with the two backpackers at length by phone.
Although in their early 20s, they have enough experience to
undertake multi day treks. At the time of this incident
they were nearing the end of a full circle hike 41 1/2 miles
around Mount Hood via the Timberline Trail.
This trail is not for the faint of heart.
You must carry four days worth of food plus all your camping
gear and hike approximately 15 miles a day.
Oh man. Much of the trail sets near
10,000 feet. Elevation or oxygen levels are
low and physical exertion is more difficult.
The loud knocks came from below their camp near Lamberson Butte,
a short distance off the Timberline Trail.
This suggests the source was down in the drainage of the
South Fork of Cold Spring Creek. The witnesses estimated the
knocks were coming from a half a mile to a mile away.
They were confident the sounds were not gunshots or mechanical
in nature. They originated from a steep
forested area with no roads or trails.
The knocks did not change location during the night.
All came from the same direction, distance and over a
three hour period and sounded as if the source was striking the
same large hollow tree trunk. One of the witnesses remained
remarked that it didn't sound like a typical stick hitting a
tree. The stick must have been the
size of a telephone pole. Of course that's an
exaggeration, but he was trying to convey the death power in
residence of the Knox well beyond what a human can produce.
He also noted a visible swath of burned trees down in that remote
E slow slope drainage. He speculated the hollow tree
being struck may have been among those burned trunks.
Aside from the knocking, there were no other populizations, no
howls, whoops or whistles. The encounter occurred during
the warmest part of the year, when lower elevations of the
east of the Cascades can reach 90 to 100°F at the elevation of
their camp. Temperature at night range from
50 to 60°. At the time this report is being
busted early April, the entire area remains buried under
several feet of snow. This report is especially
valuable because it suggests this may be a location where
Sasquatch returns each summer to engage in specific, purposeful
behavior. That's a pretty cool take on
that. The sightings dated July of
1995, Clackamas County, Oregon. It says location details.
The camp where the sighting occurred is off Hwy. 211 about 5
miles from the town of Malala on the road to Dickey Prairie,
nearest town. Malala nearest Rd.
Hwy. 211 observed. I saw what I believed was a
Sasquatch about five years ago when I was 16 years old.
I was volunteering as a counselor at a day camp.
A friend and I went for a walk on the trails within the camp.
We were doing trail maintenance and had brought our lunches,
planning to eat them later. We were on the outskirts of
camp, maybe half a mile from the main area, very close to the
Malala River. I was about 60 feet from a muddy
Creek in a somewhat swampy area. I remember sitting down to eat
lunch when my friend realized he had forgotten something back at
camp. I can't recall exactly what it
was, maybe a tool or something to drink.
He headed back while I remained seated on a log waiting for him
to return. I expected he'd be gone about 10
minutes. He had been gone for at least 7
minutes when I heard something in the woods to my left.
I stood up to get a better view and saw a massive hairy man like
creature standing next to a large tree.
I believe it was a cedar about 15 feet away.
I estimate it was about 8 feet tall.
I was about 5 foot 9 at the time and it was far taller and much
wider than me. Very bulky.
Its fur was thick, fairly long, around 6 inches and medium brown
in collar. It looked directly at me for a
few seconds. We made a solid eye contact.
Its eyes were dark in color. It appeared surprised, like it
was deciding what to do. Then it stepped to its right, my
left behind the large tree, and immediately began to run.
I couldn't see it running due to the tree blocking my view, but I
definitely heard it. It sounded extremely heavy.
Its footsteps were clearly audible.
I could hear branches snapping as it ran, creating a lot of
noise. It sounded incredibly powerful.
I listened for about 10 seconds as I crashed through the forest
and turned and ran back along the trail toward camp.
I met up with my friend on his way back to meet me.
Wow, that is something, says other witnesses.
I was the only one who actually witnessed the account.
My friend was still returning from the main camp.
I may have been snacking on some of my lunch at the time.
Other stories I've recently heard a story about a mother and
a daughter in Beaver Creek, OR who also encountered A
Sasquatch, but I don't know any details.
Beaver Creek is not far from Molalla.
It's in the same county. And then it says timing
conditions occurred in the afternoon around lunchtime.
It was very sunny. It was a sunny summer day with
good lighting. Environment.
The force is fairly mature with limited low brush.
There are many ferns along with needles and cedar debris
covering the ground. Large cedar trees are common,
especially around the creeks. There are also the city's trees
near the Muddy Creek, a swampy area, and plenty of Douglas fir.
The camp has a network of private trails that are
typically used only in summer. Isn't that neat?
Sounds like this is a perfect habitat for one of these things
to be living at. We'll go ahead and we'll do
three more of these and wrap this up.
The signings date is September 15th, 2012.
Curry County, Oregon looks like it was submitted October 14th.
Location details a footpath for hikers just above the National
Bridges viewpoint. The trail was called the Loop
Trail. On the same path is a trail
called the Coastal Trail. Nearest town Brookings OR
nearest Rd. Highway One O 1 observed.
I took a three day vacation beginning on September 14th,
2012 from Northern Nevada to the southern coast of Oregon.
I take professional photos for a website I operate and was hoping
to capture some great scenic shots before the weather turned
too cold and unpleasant for the rest of the year.
My fiance and I were hiking about 6 to 8 miles north of
Brookings, OR in Curry County. We were on a trail in a densely
wooded area called the Loop Trail about 1/4 mile past the
area known as Natural Bridges Viewpoint.
We had gone down the trail without incident, although it
was getting dark and I felt an urgent need to hurry back, even
though there was no logical reason.
It was just a feeling, like the hairs on the back of my neck
were standing up. I can't quite explain it, but I
suddenly felt uncomfortable. We did not see any other hikers
either on the way down or back up the trail.
We stopped walking when we heard loud snaps in the forest around
us, like something breaking tree branches.
We looked around but didn't see anything at first.
We decided to keep walking when we saw some bushes about 20
yards ahead swinging back and forth.
We stopped and were suddenly assaulted by horrific smell that
reminded me of a garbage baking in the sun.
By then the nervous feeling I had had intensified and I was
really beginning to worry about the onset of fog and the fading
light. The forest was misty and it was
raining lightly. We were climbing a steep part of
the trail and I gave it my best push to reach the end.
As we were finishing the final climb, I turned and looked
behind me. I'm not sure why I felt like
someone was watching us, though I told myself I was just being
silly. When I turned, I saw a head
above some tree branches, with the rest of the body obscured by
dense vegetation. The head was covered in dark
reddish brown fur and was impossibly far from the ground.
If this was a man, he must have been at least close to 8 feet
tall. I blinked a few times, convinced
I was imagining things, but they figured it didn't vanish.
Instead, it looked at me curiously for a few seconds,
then moved out of view behind a tree.
I grabbed my fiance's hand to be afraid to tell him what I had
seen because I feared he might try to go after it.
I quickly made my way back to our vehicle.
I'm not crazy. This is not a trick of light or
fog. Something very large with the
face of an ape was looking at me.
I will never forget it. Huh, boy, I guess not.
Also, I noticed a force became unusually quiet a few minutes
before the incident. No crickets, no birds.
Everything went silent. We attributed it to the onset of
light rain. Other witnesses.
I was the only one who saw it. Other stories?
I'm not from this area. Time and conditions 7:00 PM.
Foggy and drizzling environment. Heavy force.
Follow up investigation. Jeff Robinson I spoke with the
witness via telephone and during the interview she articulated an
account that was both compelling and detailed.
She confided in me that she is a doctoral candidate in
neuroscience at a prestigious New England university and has
always prided herself on being firmly grounded in reality.
However, this incident has shaken her view of nature in
general. She described the hike and how
she grew up in the region loving the coastal trails.
During the late afternoon hike, she and her fiance began to hear
what sounded like good sized trees being broken at ground
level. The sound was incredibly loud
and the otherwise serene surroundings.
Initially, she thought it could be a bear and urged her partner
to head back. As it was nearing dusk, raining
lightly, and the air was getting chilly, she felt an increasing
sense of being watched and also noticed a smell resembling a
sour coffee grounds or rotten garbage.
As they descended the trail, all wildlife sounds stopped
abruptly. She and her fiance quickened her
pace on a steep portion of the trail, then heard more loud
breaking noises. Again, assuming it might be a
bear at this point, she caught movement of the out of the
corner of her right eye. About 25 feet away, she saw a
large figure obscured from the chest down, peering over a tree
branch. She stared in disbelief for
about 3 seconds and grabbed her partner's hand.
When she turned back, the figure was gone.
Her fiance didn't see it. Though brief, the sighting felt
prolonged due to the bizarre nature of the encounter.
She described the face as person like, but twice as big, with a
long reddish brown receding hairline and light brown human
like skin. The nose was long and rounded
with wide nostrils. The large dark greenish eyes had
no visible whites, only irises. She noted the subject's very
muscular right shoulder, which connected directly to the jaw
line. With no visible neck, the chest
was as wide as a person is tall. What struck her most was the
complexity of the expression. It seemed generally curious, as
if it couldn't help revealing itself to her.
As a couple quickly descended to the trailhead, they discussed
what they had just heard and what she had seen.
Unable to explain the experience, she later expressed
that the event changed her perception of wildlife and made
her fearful of hiking and camping.
I found this witness to be extremely credible.
Her account came from a scientific viewpoint.
She was clearly grappling with the significance of what she saw
and why the creature may have revealed itself to her.
That is really cool. You know, you can go through
your whole life with, with your own paradigm, how you see things
and then something like this comes along and just rocks your
whole world. That is crazy.
This encounter is dated as November 1974.
Curry County, Oregon, says location details The sighting
occurred near an area east and between Gold Beach and Brookings
called the Stackyards, AKA Devil's Stackyards.
I wonder how that name came about.
It says the area is on the other side of Pistol River.
I don't remember the name of the timber sale we were logging.
If I remember correctly, the Prairie where the site took
place is called Miller Prairie. Sorry it's been a few years.
Nearest town Brookings OR nearest Rd. north bank check Co
FS14-O7220 spur observed my brother, myself and two other
men were working at a cable locking site decking logs on 4
servers land north North East of Brookings OR my brother, a
rigging Slinger and one of the other fellows, a hook tender
were working in the rigging. I, the chaser and other fellow
yard engineer were working on the landing.
Communication between the landing and the brush was via
handheld walkie-talkie. The guys in the brush spotted
something moving across the Prairie about 2500 feet across
the Canyon from the yarder. They thought it might have been
an elk but weren't sure. After telling the yarder
engineer and asking what he thought it was, he had me get a
rifle with the scope out of the crummy to get a better look.
Both the yard engineer and I took turns observing the
creature through the scope for approximately 15 minutes.
We both concluded that the creature was not a bear, elk or
deer or any other commonly known big game animal.
That it have a seized woods. The creature was definitely
walking upright on 2 legs. It had broad shoulders, reddish
brown colored hair, and didn't appear to be in a hurry to get
where it was going. I could see its arms swinging as
it walked and it seemed to have a pointed or conical shaped
head. I couldn't distinguish between
the facial features, it was just too far away.
The creature was headed in an E northeast direction from us,
quartering up the hill across the Prairie toward the Ridge.
We watched it until it disappeared over the Ridge.
On our way home after work we debated what the creature was
and concluded that it was a Bigfoot.
The boys in the brush said they had felt like they were being
watched for a couple days. The hook tender mentioned he had
heard noises like sticks breaking and something walking
in the brush while he was working in the back end of the
unit. At the time he passed it off as
a bear or other game animal. He did not report any strange
odors or other signs. This is also noticed.
No tracks, odors or hair were found.
One witness heard noises, sticks breaking and something moving
through the brush. 4 witnesses total, 2 working the rigging and
two others working the landing on the same logging site.
Other stories There have been several reports in the Brookings
Gold Beach area over the past 30 years or so.
One of my son's friends brought over a photo of a large track
with toes in the snow found before Christmas of 2005.
A good friend's 12 year old grandson says he saw Bigfoot
step over a guardrail just a couple of nights ago.
I haven't had a chance to talk to the boy yet, but I will soon.
I also had an incident happened to be back in the 1980s.
Well, deer hunting. I never got a visual on the
creature, but I heard a heavy brush crashing made by something
running on 2 feet. What was really strange was that
it made a very loud vocalization.
It sounded like a monkey, a really loud one.
I later heard a similar vocalization on one of the
Bigfoot websites, don't remember which one.
And yes, it made the hairs in the back of my neck stand up.
I've been hunting these woods for a long time and I've heard
every local game animals vocalizations at one time or
another. This wasn't like anything I'd
heard before. Whatever it was made the
vocalizations while running through heavy timber and thick
underbrush. Actually saying something isn't
it. Time and conditions.
The sighting occurred in the early afternoon or late morning.
The sky was overcast with sun breaks, but it was not raining.
Environment. Grassy Prairie surrounded by
mostly old growth Douglas fir and tan oak forest at about 800
to 900 feet elevation near the Ridge.
Man, that's really neat. We'll go ahead and do one last
one here. This hiking happened October
3rd, 2019. Douglas County, Oregon Location
details. Our cabin was on a lake in a
wooded area. The salmon had just come into
the lake from the river before moving into the tributaries to
spawn. Nearest town Florence nearest
Rd. Highway one O 1 near county line
Rd. This looks to me like it's kind
of in the eastern northeastern part of the state maybe.
Observed. My husband and I had an off grid
cabin on a coastal lake in Oregon.
It's only power source was a generator located in the
outbuilding about 20 feet from the back of our cabin.
The area between our cabin and the generator shed was gravel
and grass, providing an unobstructed view from the back
window. We had the kitchen light on and
one lamp on in the front room. Around 10:00 PM October 3rd 2019
we heard a loud bang on the cabin.
It was strong enough that we had looked at each other and asked
what was that. My husband went outside with his
gun and checked around the side in front of the cabin but he
didn't find anything. We sat back down and a few
minutes later we heard the same bang again.
This time I turn off the TV and lights.
My husband looked out the window and then we went into our
bedroom which was on the backside of the house.
In the light coming from the generator shed, we saw a huge
figure moving toward the generator shed window where he
got a very clearview of the creature.
He called out to me and said come here, you won't believe
this. I took one look and was so
terrified I ran into another room.
I knew right away it was a Sasquatch.
My husband continued observing it.
He paid close attention to where the top of his head lined up
with the window frame of the generator shed.
The creature had a flat face with a prominent brow and was
covered in reddish brown hair. It had blocky teeth and lips and
a flat human like nose. It walked upright and swung its
arms to the side as it moved. The look on its face showed
curiosity and intelligence. It didn't appear aggressive, but
we didn't approach or threaten it.
After about two minutes it walked into the woods.
We had two adult Shih Tzu dogs, both house trained and typically
vocal. If someone came near, they were
silent, huddled in a corner and both urinated on the floor.
After the creature disappeared into the darkness, my husband
said we needed to leave the area.
We grabbed the dogs and our guns strictly for protection, never
intending to harm the creature, which appeared almost humanoid.
My husband activated the truck's panic alarm, causing the lights
to flash and horn to blur, and we ran to the vehicle and drove
away. When we returned the next
morning, my husband measured where the creatures headed
reached the window. It was over 8 1/2 feet tall.
We didn't find any footprints as the ground was hard packed sand
and mossy, but ferns were trampled and mushrooms kicked up
along the path it took. We believe the bang we heard was
a creature looking into the kitchen window.
Outside that window we had a plastic container for recycling
cans. When I bumped into that
container later, it made the same bang sound against the
cabin wall. We set up trail cams and placed
apples on the deck after the incident.
Strange to the cameras had been moved.
One photo showed the apples present and the next showed them
gone. Yet nothing was captured on
camera, which had been turned away from its original position.
That's pretty wild. It's almost like this thing's
coming in here and moving that camera around, snagging the
apples and then leaving. These things are smart time and
conditions. 10:00 PM. It was raining and dark, but the
generator shed light gave us a clearview of the creature
environment. Forested wooded area on lake.
A swampy area lies within a half a mile.
That is really neat. Just another fantastic sighting.
I hope you enjoyed these sightings come up there in
Oregon. Lots and lots of cool sightings.
I mean over a couple 100. Anyway, if you like the program,
don't forget to like full of subscribe doesn't cost a dime.
Until next time. This is UFO warning over and
out.
