Backpackers describe possible camp stalking by a sasquatch around midnight near Salmo-Priest Wilderness

Three campers were sleeping in tents at a wilderness campsite when they heard three loud bounces around midnight. Two of them left the tents, heard something heavy run down the hill, and threw rocks toward it without seeing anything. The next morning they recreated a very similar bouncing sound by throwing a log, then packed out early without spending a second night.

Friends camping at Cedar Lake (10mi E of Wilkeson) hear possible BF vocals

Three campers were sleeping at a secluded mountain lake camp when they were awakened just after 4 a.m. by a very loud, high-pitched scream from very close by, followed by shorter vocalizations. They heard brush movement and other strange noises through the rest of the night, lit a small fire for reassurance, and left in the morning. The reporter states they had not believed in Bigfoot before but became convinced by the experience.

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

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.

They remained on site afterward playing music and talking.

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.
