An open record of things people cannot explain

Clackamas County, Oregon · 2003-02-15 · from the BFRO archive

I lived in Welches, Oregon. I am 42 yr old now. This was 2 1/2 years ago, in November 2003. I was living in an apartment over a garage overlooking the Salmon River. At around 6pm there was a large bang on my front door. The door was locked, thank goodness. I called 911 and told them that something banged on my door, and I was alone and scared. I lived right next to the Mt. Hood National Forest. No families lived there in the winter time. If something happened to me no one would hear me scream. I heard grunting. I looked out onto my deck, through the windows and I saw those eyes. It had to be huge animal. It was there watching me and I was watching it. It blinked its eyes, but it was like the animal was frozen with its eyes set on me. It had a furry head. It took 3 hours for the police to show up. They came in on foot, from down the road, but did not see anything when they looked around.
