Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2006)

A Special Forces team training at Fort Lewis set up a patrol base and were repeatedly approached at night by unseen figures. They tracked larger barefoot prints, smelled rotten flesh and wet dog, and found a clearing with flattened brush and broken limbs high in trees. They withdrew to a road and flagged a truck for a ride, believing they had entered Sasquatch territory.

November 2005 Greenwater Wa., Pierce County, Washington Class B #32536

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.

Possible late night vocalizations heard outside Redmond

Late at night the witness lay in bed and heard repeated moaning-howl sounds from outside through a partly open window.

When blinds were raised and a window was opened noisily the sound stopped and was not heard again.

Possible stalking of deer hunters near Falls Creek

While deer hunting with a companion, the witness walked toward a creek bottom and heard loud rocks being struck together repeatedly from about 50-75 yards away in thick timber. Unable to see the source and believing no other hunters were in the isolated, trail-less area, they moved closer, heard the rock sounds again, then left for camp as the sounds stopped.

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.

Campers hear possible vocalizations in Gifford Pinchot NF, near Tarbell Trail

On the return they heard sounds suggesting something was following them, and the women in camp reported rocks being thrown near camp and brush moving. After going to bed the group heard a loud screech/scream twice, and before sunrise one woman was awakened by a close growl near the tent. No creature was seen.

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.

An investigator later visited the area and reported a possible large footprint on the hillside.

Campers hear possible vocalizations at night near Kalama Horse Camp

Five people were camping near a river when they heard heavy, slow movement in nearby brush shortly after starting to cook. The brush noise was heard twice and stopped when approached.

The witness did not see anything and reported that no companions mentioned hearing the sounds the next day.

Young Girl Experiences Rock and Stick Throwing

The witness was walking home at night near a creek when something began throwing sticks and rocks and following her. The throwing reportedly paused when cars passed.

Footprints were reportedly found in sand the next day.

Possible "Ohio" Howls heard near Granite Falls

The witness was on a ladder cleaning the gutter of his two-story house in the morning when he heard a series of low-pitched, long howls. Dogs began barking once the howling started. He said the sound was distinctly different from any canine howl or bark and was uncannily similar to an Ohio howl recording posted on the same website.

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.

Hunters hear early morning vocalizations near Mossy Rock

The witness and her husband were hunting in a clear-cut next to timber in the morning when they heard two loud human-like screams from the stand of trees. Both heard the second scream very close by.

Hunters hear aggressive yells and knocks near Addy for over an hour

Two hunters walking on an old logging road just before dark heard a very loud breathy yell and a stick-like strike from dense brush about 50 feet away. Over about an hour they heard dozens of repeated yells, each followed by one or two knocks, and saw no other people in the area. They returned to their hunting spots with rifles loaded and later thought the sounds matched yelling and wood knocking shown on a Bigfoot television program.
