A chilling encounter with something mysterious in the Oregon wilderness is the subject of a video that has recently caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. The video, posted on the YouTube channel Base Camp Chris, tells the story of a young logger named Daniel who had a terrifying experience while working near Mount Hood in the summer of 1968. As Daniel was installing radio signaling equipment on a logging machine called a yarder, he began to feel uneasy. He sensed that he was being watched and, when he shined his flashlight towards the tree line, he saw a set of glowing eyes staring back at him. The eyes were about 7-8 feet off the ground and there was no tree for an animal to be sitting in, making the situation even more puzzling. Daniel stared at the eyes for 15 seconds before they disappeared. He tried to shake off the feeling of terror and continued working, but soon smelled a horrible stench like a wet dog mixed with a dead animal. He knew he had to get out of there and quickly grabbed his equipment and ran to his car. As he was driving away, Daniel saw the glowing eyes again, this time accompanied by a large, black shape about 8 feet tall. He was frozen with fear, but eventually mustered up the courage to drive away. He spent the night in his car, too scared to return to the logging site. The next morning, Daniel returned to the site and finished his work. He told his foreman about his experience and was surprised to learn that other loggers had similar stories from the same job site. The foreman even told Daniel about how two 475 lb drums had been moved and thrown down a slope, leading Daniel to believe that whatever he saw was incredibly strong. This video is a fascinating addition to the world of Bigfoot research. It's always exciting to hear firsthand accounts of possible encounters with these mysterious creatures. While we can't say for certain what Daniel saw that night, the details of his story are certainly intriguing and worth considering. We encourage our readers to watch the video and decide for themselves.
