Incident #1000947
Brookings, Curry Cty, Oregon
1890's
Account
Ivan Sanderson gives no source for this story, which refers to tracks of enormous, naked human feet passing back and forth from the foredsts to the seashore at the mouth of the Chetko River, and tells of two watchmen being killed at a mining camp "some 50 miles inland." The men were said to have emptied their rifles, and to have been smashed by slammin into the ground. Two sets of large human-type tracks had been showing up around the camp, and a "spoor", apparently the same, was followed for many miles after the killing, leading to an area of fresh lava flow.
