Two friends were camping at a local gravel quarry near The Dalles‚ Oregon. That night a Sasquatch enters the camp waking one of the boys. He grabs his gun and shoots.Excerpted from KCRA news 'special' report (uploaded to Youtube) – an interview conducted with eyewitness‚ Brian LeBreton by reporter‚ Terry Richards."Brian LeBreton was camping with a friend‚ Leonard Hall‚ at a gravel quarry near The Dalles‚ Oregon one evening in June 1971 (I believe it is now called Tygh Valley Sand &; Gravel). The two were going rabbit hunting the next morning. LeBreton described to Richards the events of that evening and what he saw:“I don't know why but I just couldn't get to sleep. I felt cold. It was in the middle of June so it couldn't have been too cold out but‚ anyway‚ I finally started to doze off and‚ you know‚ well‚ some rocks‚ probably around this side here (pointing at rock wall behind them) come rolling down and that's what woke me up. So I stood straight up in my sleeping bag and I grabbed my shot shotgun‚ which was quite close‚ and my light‚ and I showed up there and the beam of the light hit the creature right in the face. So I grabbed the light and a hand on the gun and I shot at the creature several times. It seemed to back off and dust would fly off his chest when the shot hit him. It acted as if I would come up and shove you‚ just the pressure‚ the shot hitting‚ seemed to throw him back some‚ but it had no real effect on him.”When asked to describe the creature‚ he noted that it was‚ “very awesome. Just huge‚ enormous‚ and very ugly..” He added‚ “I would say his arms were big around as my legs probably and probably about three and a half / four feet across here‚ very large. 7 to 8 feet. I know what I saw and I do not suffer from hallucinations.”The Center for Sacramento History featured this 'news special' on their YouTube channel. Staff member‚ Christopher Smith‚ noted:"Who doesn't love a Bigfoot adventure? Take a trip to 1970s Oregon with KCRA Reporter Terry Richards to investigate the possibility of the mythical figure Bigfoot! I found the whole thing delightful‚ especially the interviews with the regular citizens. What do you think? Could Bigfoot still be out there?"Transcribed Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17FLu59FlcMValley of the Skookum: Four Years of Encounters With BigfootTrue Bigfoot Encounters: Eyewitness Accounts of Sasquatch Saving HumansVisits from the Forest People: An Eyewitness Report of Extended Encounters with BigfootThe Black Diary: M.I.B‚ Women in Black‚ Black-Eyed Children‚ and Dangerous BooksChasing the Elusive Pennsylvania Bigfoot: A Cryptid from Another RealityHaunted Hills and Hollows: What Lurks in Greene County PennsylvaniaRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.
