First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #5725

Army personnel hear scream in the woods outside of Fort Lewis

November 2004 night Fort Lewis Army Post, Pierce County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two personnel on guard duty at an ammo holding area heard branch-breaking noises from dense trees about 300 meters beyond the security lights. They initially dismissed the noises as possibly caused by other soldiers. A high-pitched scream, holler or yell then came from the same dark area with no visual contact, prompting them to retreat to a vehicle and [name withheld]. The reporter suggested the vocalization matched what they had been told was Bigfoot.
