November 2004 Fort Lewis Army Post, Pierce County, Washington #5725

Army personnel hear scream in the woods outside of Fort Lewis

Two personnel on guard duty at an ammo holding area heard branch-breaking noises from dense trees about 300 meters beyond the security lights.

A high-pitched scream, holler or yell then came from the same dark area with no visual contact, prompting them to retreat to a vehicle and [name withheld]. The reporter suggested the vocalization matched what they had been told was Bigfoot.

Possible vocalizations heard by several people around lake over a year's time. Footprints also found in snow.

The witness was outside a remote cottage watching a total lunar eclipse late at night when two extremely loud scream-like howls were heard at very close range.

No animal was seen, and the volume suggested a large animal to the witness.

Hikers hear vocalization

The witness was hiking the loop trail around Lost Lake with a companion when both heard a distant, short howl from across the lake.

Fisherman stalked at dawn near Ruidoso

The witness ran back to camp, injuring an ankle, and noted the behavior and sound differed from prior bear encounters.

The witness reports seeing nothing and suggests the source may have tracked him to the camp.
