Class B First-hand BFRO #5249

Man exploring canyons southeast of Grand Coulee is growled at by unknown animal

August 2002 Early afternoon Grand Coulee, Lincoln County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness climbed to a densely wooded area behind a dry waterfall in Spring Canyon to get a view. They heard a grunting humming sound with foot stamping and loud bull-like breathing, followed by total silence. They moved to the waterfall's edge, waited with no further sounds, and chose not to enter the woods, later suggesting it might be a Bigfoot residence.
