YESTERDAY (!!!): Bigfoot knocks (from multiple creatures) near Port Townsend

While walking alone in the afternoon the witness noticed a brief skunk-like odor and then heard repetitive knocking from the woods. The witness tapped a stick on trees in patterns and heard knocks returned in the same numbers, first from one direction and later from two directions. After a much louder wood-on-wood smashing sounded nearby and the other knocks stopped, the witness left the forest quickly without seeing the source.

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.

Stalking by a large creature around family tents at midnight at Skookumchuck Reservoir

The witness was lying awake in a tent at a restricted lakeside camp around midnight when she heard slow, rhythmic footsteps circling the campsite for about 45 minutes. The walker paused near food areas, approached another tent when a child cried, and left after a car alarm sounded, stepping over a fence into the woods. She never opened the tent to look and concluded from the stride and sounds that it was not human.

Hikers report possible sasquatch vocals + stalking in center of Harstine Island

Three people walking a gated logging road in the morning heard owl-like calls that seemed to come from ground level, move with them, and come from both sides of the trail. They also heard muffled voice-like sounds and a very loud, low-pitched growl from close in the forest. They noticed oddly broken and arranged branches near a marsh and clearing, felt unwelcome and watched, and left when the sounds stopped near the car.

Possible Sasquatch howls north of Leavenworth, east of Lake Wenatchee

The witness was sleeping in a travel trailer at a campground when an unknown sound woke him around 1 a.m. during quiet hours. After lying back down he sat up by an open window and heard two loud, distant howls that seemed to fill the forest valley and lacked clear direction. He felt the depth, breadth and penetrating quality of the sound could not have been produced by a human.

Three campers were sleeping in tents at a wilderness campsite when they heard three loud bounces around midnight.

The next morning they recreated a very similar bouncing sound by throwing a log, then packed out early without spending a second night.
