LOCATION:    Olalla, Oregon

TERRAIN:       Mountains, Like a National Forest.  By the Cascades.
                    Tall, heavily wooded

OBSERVED:     I am not sure what is applicable here as there have been many
strange occurrences where I grew up. I grew up in Olalla Oregon. Not a
town. It is just a place out in the woods. My dad owned 120 acres of pure
woodland, pure woodlands all about, and very few neighbors within walking
distance.  I have never "seen" a bigfoot that I know of but if those photos
show anything then I assume they blend well into the surrounding terrain.  I
may have to do a few reports as I remember more things that happened while
I lived in Olalla or Tenmile area. This is a heavily wooded area that has a
small population of humans and "pet" animals. Bear with me because I have
no idea what is relevant. Very mountainous that gets snow every year. Lots
of undergrowth.

OK, now on to what I think may be relevant. TN Bigfootlady told me to come
here from Paltalk. I was XXXXX in Paltalk. I was born and raised on
those mountains and in this time I saw and heard a baby crying that was
out in the woods. I thought this was a baby or human child in extreme
stress or hurt. This always occurred at night and a lot of times when it
was foggy outside or during the full moon. When I was a young child I did
not follow these sounds but when I was in high school I began to listen for
these sounds and to try to find the source. The sound was far away and at
first very faint but as I neared the sound sometimes it would stop. And
there would be nothing but silence. I got lost on numerous occasions
following these sounds. Sometimes the sound would change into that which
reminded me of a mother keening for the loss of a child. EERIE.

These sounds were never joyous ones but always seemed to be ones of pain. I
have been told that these sounds could be elk that live in the area. I have
heard elk and I know that's not what I heard. I wish I had the forethought
to record these sounds. I remember walking in the woods and all sounds
halting. The birds, everything silent. Nothing. I could feel a presence but
always assumed that this presence was a bear or a cougar. But, nothing ever
bothered me before.

There was this place in the woods that I found that I called my house. It
was about a quarter mile from where my dad built his house. On the ground
stacked between trees were smaller trees laying like l-l between the trees;
kind of stuck between them, like almost building a house. They were like
squares marked off so that I could play house. A lot of broken trees around
the outside and farther out from that, bent over trees like there had been
a big storm or something like damage from wind or snow.

I lived in a very big house for a while about 5 miles from the other one
that the bottom floor was off the ground. The windows; I could touch the
bottom of it if I stood on tip toe. I was about 5 foot 7 inches tall when I
lived there. For two nights in a row while my mother was out of town I
heard a loud thump, thump, thump high up on the wall at different points
along the outside of the house. Very loud. I was sitting in the living room
which had big windows and watching TV. I remember this so vividly it scared
me so bad.

I thought it was one of my friends or something playing a trick
on me. I turned on one of the porch lights, the one I knew was the
brightest and would light up the most area which was by the living room. I
was looking out the window and the thumps stopped and I saw nothing so I
yelled out the door to see if it was my friends because they would come
out. No response so I dismissed it as whatever, just nothing. It Creeped me
out but I tried to stay calm. I shut the door, turned off the light and sat
down to watch TV and read my book and heard a thump real close so I turned
around fast and a pair of red eyes met my stare then disappeared.

SO me 5'7 barely touch the window and here are a pair of red eyes. I
screamed and ran all the way upstairs to my bed 4 stories up. This happened
twice but I flipped on the porch light and ran upstairs the 2nd time before
going up to my bed. The house was very tall but was made very strange so
that many layers of roofs and decks and stories. It was strange as mine was
up on top. I saw red eyes on the roof the 2nd time like something hunkering
down on the roof. I had a friend climb down the roofs to the ground during
the day and he had a very hard time due to the heights. SO its possible to
get up there.
