It was the 4th of july 1995.We were camping in a campground called "moonshine park" in siletz,Oregon.We had arrived late in the day and all the camp sites were taken,so we ended up with a site that was somewhat remote.We could not really see any other campers from our site.We were camped at a site on a cliff overlooking the siletz river.From the cliff you could look down into the water and see solid rock that formed the river bed at that section of the river.The water in the siletz is very clear.

After it got dark we noticed the sound of snaping branches,very loud,but paid it no mind.About 9 o'clock that night we decided to go to bed.I went up to the bathrooms about 1/4 mile from our site.As I was coming back my wife was at the cliff with a flashlight shining it into the river.When I got down to her I could hear her saying "what is that..??what is that..??!!"I went over to the cliff with my flashlight and looked down.When I shined my light into the river I saw a thing that was shaped like a person..2 arms,2 legs.But it had claws with 3 fingers on each claw.It was floating in the river on the rocks.It was at the shore moving away from us very slowly.At this point it looked up at us in a very casual way.When it looked at us I could see it's eyes.They covered about half it's head,which was shaped like a bullet.Tapered up to a point in the back.It's eyes reflected back the light from the flashlight like a cats eyes would.

Now both my wife and I are asking each other "what the hell is that thing??!!It's body was covered in short brown hair,with "whisps"of hair on the top of the head.So at this point we got really scared.What absolutly scared me was it had no fear of us.We went and slept in our truck that night because we were to tired to drive 3 hours back home.We could hear a campers dog barking like crazy all night.When we looked in the morning it was of course gone.So what you think it was?
