Two rock climbers hear wood knocks and footsteps in the early morning at a trailhead

Two hikers arrived at a trailhead in the early morning to climb and heard knocks from uphill and downhill, followed by stick-breaking sounds like footsteps. They knocked back and received responses, filmed the exchange, then heard further knocks and repetitive rock-on-tree tapping as they started up the trail. They saw nothing in the dense woods and eventually left.

Possible sasquatch vocalizations at Oliver Lake in Mt. Ranier National Park

In summer 2016 the witness and a companion camped at a remote lake in Mt. Rainier National Park after fishing. Late at night while awake in the shared tent, the witness heard 8-10 loud low-pitched guttural screams in quick succession from a ridge about 300 feet above. The companion slept through the sounds and nothing else was heard. No tracks or other sign were found the next morning.

One of them left the truck and fired a rifle at it, heard nothing further, then heard heavy footsteps before leaving, returning next day to find no sign.

Possible vocalizations on Little Si Trail outside North Bend

Two people hiking in the morning heard a repeated loud alarm-like holler ending each time in a strange ape- and human-like vocalization. The witness imitated the sound a few times, and both listeners concluded it could not be human or a wolf/coyote due to lung capacity and lip-like articulation. Believing the source sounded closer and could be a large unknown animal, they ran back to the car without seeing anyone else on the trail.

Campers hear possible night-time responses near Aeneas Valley Road

The witness was camping with a group on a friend's undeveloped property and spent two nights riding ATVs to a remote spot to try imitation yells and tree knocks for fun. The group reported hearing responding knocks, high-pitched vocalizations, loud grunt-like growls from in front and behind, and a very loud tree-breaking sound, all from about 75 to 300 yards away. Nothing was ever seen, and the group left the hillside quickly after the close growls, later listening from camp.

Target shooter hears strange sounds (see video) and finds possible tree-breaks and prints off of the Mountain Loop Highway

The witness and a companion stopped off a forest road so the witness could target shoot while the companion waited at the truck. After the witness returned to the road, both heard repeated very loud cracking snaps from a wooded hilltop about 100 yards away, spaced about 30 seconds apart, along with movement and bark-ripping sounds. The witness walked partway up the hill filming with a cell phone and captured at least one loud crack before returning to the truck and leaving.

Possible knocks and vocalization heard from inside a home near Buckley

The witness was awake in bed with the window open around sunrise when two wood knocks sounding very close were followed immediately by a distant deep vocalization. The witness felt the sound was too deep and guttural to be a human, elk, coyote, or other familiar animal. The witness then got up, closed and locked the window, and heard no further noises.
