Witness Accounts

The witness, an architect who had recently moved to Oregon, recounted a series of strange occurrences on his property while building his new home in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, near Sweet Home, Oregon. The events began in early September 1990, shortly after the foundation of the house was laid and while construction was ongoing. At the beginning of September, the witness first noticed two diesel drums that had mysteriously appeared near the edge of the property. The drums were found lying in the bushes, seemingly out of place and without explanation. This was the first indication of irregularities that would continue to surface. In the following weeks, the witness reported hearing heavy footsteps walking through the woods behind the house. One evening, while taking a break from work, he heard sounds that he initially thought were from construction workers. However, when he called out and received no response, the noise ceased. This left him feeling uneasy, as he found it strange that no one was there yet the sounds persisted. The construction progressed, with completion nearing in early November. On November 1, one of the construction workers, Jerry, approached the witness to express his concern about strange occurrences happening during their work. Jerry reported that rocks had been thrown down from the hillside, hitting the sides of the house and even a metal ladder one of the workers was on. Additionally, Jerry claimed to have heard what sounded like chuckling from the woods, heightening the strangeness of the situation. The witness shared that he believed Jerry but was initially skeptical of the suggestion that it could be related to Bigfoot. Another worker, Albert, mentioned the possibility of a Bigfoot being present on the property. This comment was taken lightly at first, but as more strange incidents occurred, the witnesses began to consider the idea more seriously. On the evening of November 1, a terrifying, high-pitched scream echoed through the area. The witness described it as a sound from "Hades," lasting over ten seconds and resonating as if it were right outside his trailer. This unnerving experience intensified his concern for the events happening around his property. He grabbed his revolver and cautiously looked outside, but nothing appeared out of the ordinary. As days passed, the workers' behavior changed; they appeared more cautious, often looking into the woods and avoiding the port-a-potty. The witness noted that this altered behavior correlated with the strange experiences they were sharing. On one occasion, Albert recounted a previous encounter from his youth, where he and his grandfather witnessed a nearly eight-foot-tall creature that stole their deer while they were hunting near Lewis Creek Park. Albert's story further cemented the connection between Bigfoot and the unusual incidents occurring at the witness's property. The combination of the unexplained noises, the appearance of the diesel drums, the rock-throwing incidents, the unnerving scream, and the anecdotal experiences of the construction workers led the witness to acknowledge the possibility that he might indeed be living next door to a creature of legend. Throughout this time, the witness maintained a focus on completing his home, but the presence of unknown disturbances became a significant aspect of his experiences in the Cascades foothills. In conclusion, the architect's early experiences at the property were marked by a series of strange and unsettling occurrences that led to the consideration of a Bigfoot presence. The combination of mysterious sounds, physical evidence such as the drums, and the testimonies of his workers painted a picture of an environment that was both beautiful and filled with the unknown.
