The witness and his father stopped at a clearcut at night and scanned with flashlights, spotting three sets of eyeshine at different heights. The largest figure charged uphill while vocalizing, then moved toward them breaking branches before everything went silent while the two smaller figures watched from the treeline. Around midnight the large figure re-emerged, stepped over a log and walked downhill bipedally with the other two following.

Knocks north of Welcome along North Fork of Nooksack River

The witness was lying awake in her motorhome at a secluded river property shortly after midnight when she heard loud banging sounds alternating between two directions.

Sickly sasquatch observed by farmhand around 5am, 5 min outside Everson

Early one morning while driving to a farm job, the witness stopped at an intersection and saw a tall, emaciated, fur-covered figure holding a tree branch in the headlights. The figure stared at the car, then bared worn and broken teeth when the car moved toward it, before the witness drove past within close range. The witness later interpreted the animal as an elderly, starving individual possibly seeking chickens during severe winter weather.

Possible vocalizations at Kulshan Campground on Baker Lake

The witness woke in the middle of the night while camping in a tent at a wooded campground near Baker Lake. For about an hour the witness listened to distant yelping and other loud vocalizations that sounded distinct from dogs barking elsewhere in the campground, along with sounds described as rocks being thrown in the woods. The witness did not see anything and reported that no companions mentioned hearing the sounds the next day.

While waiting alone in camp later that day she heard persistent clicking from the woods and felt watched.

Road trip pit stop in the woods

The witnesses were having lunch outdoors when they noticed a dark figure standing erect and moving quickly uphill across a snow and ice field below a mountain.

A ranger suggested a bear, but no one else present reported seeing the object.

Loud vocalizations repeatedly disturb family

The witness, then a child, was sleeping in the family's A-frame when very loud, high-pitched screams from behind the house woke the household. The father fired a handgun from a loft window and later used a spotlight, hearing something move away upslope but never seeing the source. Similar late-night screams recurred several times over the following week, and daytime searches found broken small trees and a rotten-egg smell but no tracks or other samples. The family moved away within a month.

Camper hears heavy footsteps at night around tent at Baker Lake

The witness was sleeping in a tent at a lakeside campground with family around 1-2 a.m. when heavy rapid footsteps passed the tent, paused at the picnic table where faint silverware clanking was heard, then left the campsite.

Three brownish figures seen moving on nearby foothill

The witness noted an absence of claw marks or bear prints and questioned how the branches could have been placed without tools.

Motorist surprises animal crossing freeway

About 25 years ago on a summer night, the witness was driving north on I-5 south of Bellingham when an animal ran across the freeway from left to right. He swerved to avoid it and saw it in the headlights running on all fours, noting reddish fur, a higher shoulder line, and a flat ape-like face with large eyes. He first thought it was a large dog then a young bear before concluding its face did not match either. He did not stop, and his passenger slept through the incident.
