Class B First-hand BFRO #1904

Mountain climbers hear loud scream on Mount St. Helens

3 March 2001 approximately 7:30 a.m. Cougar, Skamania County, Washington 7 witnesses

Account

The witness and six companions were climbing Mt. St. Helens in the morning when they heard a single loud scream from a snow-covered ridge about 100 yards away. They stopped and looked toward the ridge with excellent visibility but saw no movement. They judged the sound unlike a human, elk, coyote, or dog, and the witness later concluded it was Bigfoot after comparing it to a 1978 recording.
