Park near the no overnight camping sign and walk along the little wash until you near the cache site. Watch for the Stobor.

Right off the bat, ill tell you im a 16 year old kid telling absolutely the truth so god strike me dead. I hope you dont take my report as bogus because of that.Let me explain my situation to you: I live, and have lived,on the Molalla river for most of my life, and never thought twice about walking around at night or anywhere period. About 2 months ago, i was alone in my Grandmas house using the computer, when i decided to go home[my house is only about 50 yards away]. As i was stepping outside the most hideous feeling of bieng alone and fear thumped my heart.I kept walking in terror, when, all of the sudden, about 30 feet off to my right, I heard a loud thumping sound crash out. From there on, being distorted by my act of running faster than I’ve ever moved before, I could swear I heard a distinctive scurrying, rustling noise veering toward me from off the trail between houses. I raced in my house, slammed the door, locked it and sat in the living room to calm down from my strange experience. The oddest feelings flushed through me then, and now. Now, before you dismiss my story as a frightened child running from noises, ill have to tell you of the strange past our 45 acres of land at the end of the Dickey Prairie Road has had: Around three years ago, when we had cattle and cows fenced on our property, I noticed casually of how they would always stay together and go near the barns at night, then, one day, we discovered two of them killed up in the woods by the drinking creek. The killings weren’t average killings either. The cows didn’t have a scratch on them, both had broken necks and their eyeballs sucked out cleanly. Since those experiences, I’m now scared to go hiking and travel at night. Yes, average signs of fear, but, i have the weird feeling of being an intruder.

Investigator notes: The witness is confident that what he experienced was a Stobor following, if not chasing, him back to his house. He told me that the thumping, which he at first thought was someone stealing firewood, sounded like a heavy body striking the ground. At the time this happened, there was a musky smell in the area.

Another incident involved something getting into their garbage. The refuse was placed in a trailer and covered with a tarp, which was then weighted down with blocks of wood. In order to get into it, something had strewn the wood 15-25 ft. from the trailer and rolled back the tarp. Ripped open bags were found in a field on the property. A third thing he talked about were vocalizations he and his stepfather heard at night. He described them as booming, echoing whoops.

The witness and his family have since moved from this location.
