REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: Woody Woodworth interviewed a logger, Tim Hayward, who said he was hunting 5-6 years ago near Spanish Peak, OR, in the Ochoco Mountains (18 miles SE of Mitchell, T13S R25E) Tim had been archery hunting and followed an elk into a canyon. It got dark on him, and it was cloudy...pitch black. Tim headed out, an hour hike back to the road, when he heard something following him. It made lots of noise, breaking sticks and such, and he was scared, saying, "stop or I'll shoot," at whatever it was, arrows in hand. The thing came within 10-15 feet of him and when he would stop walking, it would stop. Finally coming to a small clearing, he waited for it, thinking to get an arrow into something. It quit following though, and he continued to a forested area towards the road, and it came behind him again in the trees, having circled around the clearing. Finally making the road in the dark it quit following him. The road was a long one that he just had to head in a certain direction to intersect, so that he was able to find it in the pitch blackness without a flashlight. There was no smell, and he never saw what it was that was following him. Woody suggested that in the past, Bigfoot had helped lost hunters, and maybe it was just making sure he got out all right?
