Class B First-hand BFRO #9850

Two fishermen hear tree knocking and low roar outside Matlock

November 2002 early afternoon Matlock, Mason County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were fishing in a creek on a snowy afternoon when they heard loud impacts like wood striking a tree from two nearby positions, followed minutes later by a deep growling roar that frightened them. They left the water, picked up rocks, and walked back through the woods to their vehicle without seeing the source. They later interpreted the sounds as possibly from a sasquatch.
