REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: Woody brought a friend with him, Tim Hayward (who helped with the elk noises), a logger, from Estacada, OR, that had some Bigfoot experiences as a child. He lived (T3S R4E) out Coupland Road from Estacada, near the airport in a trailer house. The family raised pigs (stock was never bothered) and one summer in August 1974, ten years old Tim and brothers went out in the morning (6:30-7 AM) to play. 60-70 yards away, something, a black shape, lay under the wide hay trailer where it had pulled down hay for a bed. It looked up when it heard playing noises, and was never more than, "just a black form." He thought it was a bear and ran for dad who didn't believe him. Six months later while playing hide-and-seek, near the fruit cellar down a skid trail, a big black thing went up and over the bank. His mother, also about that time, noticed late at night something 7-8 foot tall at their window where she had looked to see why the dogs were barking. There was an outside light and something big moved away from the window when she looked. When Tim was 13, he was shooting rats one night at 1 AM, and heard the hounds barking, and then they hid under the trailer when there was another very loud scream...more of an inhale noise rather than an exhale sound. It screamed twice more, and Tim ran for the barn, then to the house.
