In a chilling account shared on The Facts By Howtohunt .com YouTube channel, a witness named Brian Wilson recounts his terrifying encounter with a hairy, upright being in the wilderness of Oregon.
As Brian begins his story, he sets the scene by describing his love for Bagby Hot Springs, a remote and isolated location 60-70 miles east of Portland. He had visited this place every weekend for five years, unaware that he was not alone in his solitude.
One night, while laying in his tent, Brian heard breathing outside his tent, followed by a strange gibbering sound. Suddenly, a long shadow passed over his tent, and he saw a clenched fist pressing down on the roof of his tent. In shock, he realized that this was no bear or deer, but something much larger and more terrifying.
The creature returned a second time, revealing a 16-18 inch wide face with a flat nose, a chin, eye sockets, a mouth, and thick eyebrows. Brian, a former Army Ranger, reacted instinctively and hit the creature full force across its nose. The creature stumbled back and let out a high-pitched scream, followed by a deeper roar from another creature.
The ground shook as the second creature stomped its feet, and Brian could feel his insides vibrate from the sheer force of their vocalizations. Despite his fear, he remained still, listening as the creatures destroyed his camp and eventually left.
Brian's story is a chilling reminder of the power and mystery of the wilderness, and the creatures that may inhabit it. It's a reminder to always be prepared and aware of our surroundings, and to respect the power and unpredictability of nature.
But beyond the thrill of a good campfire story, Brian's account also highlights the importance of preserving and protecting these wild places. Bagby Hot Springs, like so many other natural treasures, is a fragile ecosystem that requires our care and attention.
As we continue to explore and enjoy the great outdoors, let us also remember our responsibility to protect and preserve these places for future generations. Whether it's through supporting conservation efforts, practicing Leave No Trace principles, or simply being mindful of our impact, we all have a role to play in preserving the wild and wonderful places that inspire us.
So, the next time you venture out into the wilderness, take a moment to appreciate the beauty and power of nature, and remember the lessons of Brian's story. Stay safe, stay aware, and most importantly, respect the mystery and majesty of the great outdoors.
