Door or window contact in Washington (2025)

After hearing thuds on the shack wall, three men went outside to investigate toward the outhouse. In the pitch dark beyond the outhouse they saw small pulsing dark-red lights that vanished when stared at directly and shifted position, with up to three seen at once. One man using a thermal scope saw no heat where the lights were but briefly saw a round white heat signature like a face peeking from behind a stump or tree, then later saw the pulsing red light; the lights eventually disappeared.

Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2014)

The witness and his father were sleeping in hammocks at a secluded lake camp. Around 2 a.m. the witness woke to a putrid smell and heavy breathing beside his hammock and saw an upright hair-covered figure with long arms and a flat face staring at his father's shelter and then at him before leaving almost silently. The next morning his father thought a bear had visited, and later that day while hiking along a riverbed they smelled the same odor in dead silence and turned back, packing up early.

Horse trainer hears frightening vocalizations near Shelton

The witness was tending a burn pile in darkness on a rural property after caring for horses when three loud calls were heard from toward a creek and wooded hillside within about 100 yards. The sounds were described as similar to a howler monkey and crane mix with a low rumble that was felt more than heard, and the source could not be seen. Feeling watched, the witness left for the house, and horses were reported as restless afterward.

Early afternoon sighting by hiker near Morton

In the early afternoon the witness and companions were walking down an old logging road when they heard strange whistling, gurgling pig-like sounds and trees shaking nearby.

Companions farther away heard the whistles, thuds and thrashing but did not see the figure.

Night time foot race with an unseen animal near Woodinville

Late at night the witness walked home alone along a familiar wooded trail and heard something moving parallel in the brush, breathing heavily. When the witness stopped the sounds stopped, and when walking resumed the follower kept pace. The witness ran toward home and the follower pursued onto gravel and pavement on two feet while making low growls and calls and trying to cut the witness off. At the house the witness's dog confronted the unseen pursuer, which halted very close before withdrawing into the brush.

No full animal was clearly seen.

Shortly after, her partner arrived by a different trail and said he had found a freshly killed deer torn in half with steam, blood, and a blood trail, but had heard nothing.
