Tioga Creek Trail
Guest Editor-Blogger, Sharon: A Bigfoot sighting.
This last November, I decided to stay with my husband in our trailer during elk season. He was going to camp for a week, so I decided to take a week of vacation to go with him. We went up above Tenmile, Oregon, to a place called Tioga Creek.
The third day was real nice out; so, another gal, that was camped there, and I, decided to take a walk on this trail. We walked up the trail, talking and enjoying the pretty landscape. Then we got to this place where the trail forked. We tried the right one because the other one looked unused. As we walked down this trail, we heard a weird sound off to our left.
The sound was a very deep hooooa hooooa hooooa. Then we head the sound of
something breaking a large branch. We both thought deer or maybe a bear. We stood there listening to this coughing wooooa. As we stood there, out of nowhere came a most unpleasant smell, like very bad body odor.
And then a sound of something hitting rocks or something against a tree. We got scared and headed back towards the trail entrance. Just then a sound of a big crack rang out right in back of us.
We swung around to see a very large hairy black creature standing on two legs on the trail behind us. It looked like some kind of wild man, very large and tall. He had no clothes on and was covered with short, black hair. My friend screamed and we started running as fast as we could, back down the trail. We nothiced the
thing was following us, just barely above a walk. We ran and ran and finally this
thing stopped and walked off the trail into the woods.
We ran all the way back to camp. We told our husbands what we saw, and they said "Oh, really!" It made us so mad we made them cook the whole week. We will never forget this
thing.
