Growl near Port Angeles, Washington (2025)

The witness was staying alone in a small trailer-like Airbnb outside of town and had fallen asleep for the night. She was awakened by the bed swaying, wood creaking, a loud boom against the building and a deep low growl. She propped up, looked through a gap in the curtains and saw a large brown bipedal shape move very fast past the window with heavy footsteps, then hid under the covers in intense fear until morning without going outside to check.

Growl near Beaver, Washington (2024)

The witness was sleeping lightly in a tent on family property during a reunion camping trip after several nights of growls, whoops, and sounds of movement in the woods. About 1:46am something pressed the back of the tent against her back, grabbed her left arm through the fabric, and shook the tall air mattress violently while a bright white light shone on the tent. The shaking and light stopped, and she found the tent had been pushed 5 to 7 feet forward. She stayed awake, left the next morning, and later found fingerprint-like marks on her arm that were photographed.

Hunters experience possible vocalizations, wood knocks, felled trees, over eight days in Squaw Valley

Two hunters spent eight days camping in a tent while hunting. Most nights they heard moaning/howling and reciprocal wood knocks that seemed to move closer, and one night heard growls outside the tent but saw nothing when they rushed out with guns and flashlights. Twice they returned from hunting to find trees blocking or inside camp, including a large healthy green pine pushed over. After losing sleep they left for a family cabin and returned next morning to find the tent zipper partly open with the lantern still on.

Couple camping at a lake near Greenwater experience possible screams

The witness and a companion were camping at an isolated lake over a long weekend. On Saturday morning they began hearing very loud guttural scream-growls that seemed to warn them away from certain areas, including the path to the lake, and the sounds continued into Sunday. Overnight they heard cooking gear clanging and a heavy thump like logs dumped beside their trailer, but in the morning the gear was largely in place and no logs were found, and the companion also reported a strong putrid smell.

Hikers report possible stalking and rock/stick throwing in White River drainage near Muckleshoot Reservation

The witness and companions were hiking back on a moonlit trail at night when they heard what sounded like bipedal footsteps following them in the brush and felt small sticks and pebbles thrown at them from out of sight. They stopped to rest by the riverbank and heard a low bass-toned growl. They never saw the source, but the witness concluded they had been stalked by a Bigfoot.

Growl near Leavenworth, Washington

A late-season hunter camping alone on a ridge was pinned down when something jumped onto his tent in the middle of the night. The weight broke two ribs against the gun he held on his chest. The thing growled, smelled foul, and held him like a wrestler rather than clawing.
