Elk hunter reports trees being pushed over and vocalizations in the Colonel Bob Wilderness

On opening day of elk season the witness camped alone on a remote spur road after hunting all day. After dark he struck a tree with a limb, then heard a large tree pushed over upslope, primate-like yells and chatter from both upslope and the ravine below, and heavy footsteps. Unnerved by the sense of being surrounded, he packed up and drove out without seeing anything.

Homeowner has possible encounter while in his yard near Ocean Shores

The witness went outside in the afternoon to retrieve plant pots from the side of the house while a neighboring dog barked. Something unseen in dense brush thrashed vegetation, produced a loud growl, and moved away with heavy pounding steps that shook the ground and broke branches. The witness retreated to a shed and then to the house for a shotgun, and later noted a strong musky odor at the residence.

Hunter near Raymond hears what sounds like a sasquatch chasing and killing a deer

The witness was deer hunting from a stand overlooking a clear-cut valley in the morning. The witness heard loud crashing and branch-breaking as a large unseen animal ran down the opposite slope, chased a deer, and killed it after the deer cried out three times. The witness could not cross the creek to investigate and later left, having earlier photographed a 20-foot tree found jammed upside-down in the ground.

Powerful knocking sounds unsettle hunter outside Montesano

While deer hunting with his girlfriend, the witness stopped at a landing and heard loud rhythmic knocking from a distant creek bottom. The knocks repeatedly stopped when he moved downhill toward the sound and resumed when he stopped. After feeling watched, chilled, and uneasy, he retreated uphill and left the area.

Deer hunters hear wood knocks near Aberdeen

Two companions arrived early for deer hunting and sat waiting in a parked truck with the windows down before dawn. They heard repeated sets of seven very loud heavy knocks, with knocks near the truck answered from several hundred yards away after a few seconds, continuing for about eight minutes. A passing truck stopped, shone a spotlight toward the sound area, then left quickly, after which the knocking stopped.

Man Hears Evening Vocals in Prior Sighting Area

Late at night the witness heard loud, complex bark- and growl-like vocalizations coming from a ravine near the house. The sounds were described as louder and more structured than dogs, coyotes, or other familiar animals, and local dogs began barking during the episode. An attempted audio recording failed, and the sounds eventually stopped. The next day the witness found trampled vegetation, a coyote carcass, tarp pieces, a dog dish, and scat near the estimated sound source.

Berry picker hears possible wood knocks east of Aberdeen

In July 2002, the witness stopped on an isolated logging spur to pick blackberries and heard repeated loud wood-on-wood knocking from a ridge above. Believing no other people or vehicles were in the area, he chose not to climb the steep, dense slope to investigate and left after the sounds continued from one location. He only later associated the sounds with alleged Bigfoot behavior after reading reports online.
