Men exploring logging roads hear possible knocks and a branch break near Cinebar

Two people exploring logging roads by jeep stopped to scout a side road on foot. They heard knocking sounds like a stick hitting a tree, then a very loud prolonged cracking like a thick log breaking nearby. They left without seeing any people or vehicles that could explain the noises. A photo taken toward the sounds was later thought to contain something odd but was deemed inconclusive.

Young man staying up late hears and records possible vocalizations near Rainier

The witness was at home in Rainier, Washington, playing video games when unknown loud calls, cries and hoots were heard on several nights in early February 2011. Some sounds were recorded on a cell phone and a webcam left running overnight and later posted online, with relatives also hearing them. The witness described one close cry and later hoots suggesting two individuals calling to each other. An investigator later had the audio compared to suspected vocalizations and visited the surrounding woods.

Berry picker hears possible wood knocks east of Aberdeen

In July 2002, the witness stopped on an isolated logging spur to pick blackberries and heard repeated loud wood-on-wood knocking from a ridge above.

He only later associated the sounds with alleged Bigfoot behavior after reading reports online.

1996 Memorial Day Weekend Video

While camping and fishing at a remote lake, the witness was alerted by a companion to a possible animal on the hillside. The witness then saw a creature stand from behind a bush about 75 yards away, stare briefly, and dart into the woods. Minutes later it reappeared higher on the steep hillside, ran across openings, jumped a ravine, and walked behind a knoll, while the witness's wife videotaped about 22 seconds.

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.
