Possible vocalizations near Indianola

Early one Sunday morning in November 2007, the witness let the dog out before work and heard a distant howl or moan that did not sound like cougar or coyote. The sound continued for about 10 minutes, stopped while the witness went inside, then resumed in short bursts about 30 minutes later. The witness noted it sounded similar to a recording from Westmoreland, PA heard during prior research and has not heard it again despite listening daily.

Possible vocalizations near Indianola

The witness and two companions were coming inside from a hot tub when they heard chirping calls from two sources that seemed to answer each other. This was followed by about five minutes of very scary howling and screaming sounds ending with chirps. The family dog reacted fearfully and would not leave the porch. The witness later said the sounds matched online recordings of alleged vocalizations.

Forest worker has many encounters with bigfoot

Two forestry workers resurveying a remote allotment for a timber harvest reported being followed at a distance while smelling a heavy stench. During a break they heard large movement in the brush, threw a piece of wood toward the sound, and then saw the backlit shadows of four hair-covered figures behind bushes in a break of sunlight. The witness described two large males standing motionless, a thin female with a hump who vocalized and wrung her hands, and a smaller child-sized figure, before the light faded and the pair left the area to finish work later.

Winter 1995 Suquamish, Kitsap County, Washington Class A #16295

Mutliple daylight sightings in Suquamish

The witness, then 8, was collecting cans alone at the backyard woods edge when they heard something large running nearby. Turning, they saw a tall hairy biped stop and stand motionless as if trying to avoid notice. After staring for about 10-15 seconds, the witness recognized it as a Sasquatch and ran back to the house.

Sighting by two hikers

Two companions on a hiking and camping trip followed grunting and rock-crashing sounds along a remote game trail. Through dense woods they saw bulky upright figures, first taken for a standing bear but judged to be something unfamiliar with a large upper body and no visible neck. When they returned to the spot the figures were gone, leaving stacked large rocks, broken branches and a powerful dung-like smell, after which they left the area.

Homeowner sees huge animal on Bainbridge Island

A woman walking home on a wooded trail with an infant and a dog heard loud breaking branches and debris crunching, then watched a large brown furry figure standing partly exposed behind a tree for about two minutes. Her dog, which normally chases animals, only stopped and stared. The figure then silently disappeared down a steep slope and nothing further was heard or seen when they approached the spot.
