Huge footprints discovered in a Duvall garden

The witness discovered two very large footprints in the freshly tilled soil of a front-yard vegetable garden about four or five years before reporting. The witness called over two relatives, and all three viewed the prints, which were described as deep, wide, and spaced too far apart to be human. No photograph or plaster cast was made. The garden sits on an unfenced property in the Cascade foothills surrounded by heavily wooded land with a creek nearby.

Father and son glimpse large, upright animal while hunting near Smith Slough

A hunter and his son paused on a ridge while elk hunting in the morning after hearing a noise and a snap. The father saw a brown, long-haired biped from the shoulders down standing in old cuttings, which grabbed a tree and swung behind it to keep the tree between them. The son reported hearing a high-pitched scream and grunting that the father could not hear. They searched the spot but found no sign, noting an unusual absence of deer and elk sign.

Family find fresh, barefooted, humanlike footprints.

The witness and three companions drove to the top of a ridge where fresh snow covered the road. A companion spotted large fresh tracks with toes crossing the road and going down a steep draw.

Homeowner recalls early morning sighting near Malo

Around 6 a.m. in dim light the witness was inside her unfinished home when her two outside dogs barked toward the creek crossing on the driveway then ran back to the porch frightened. She looked from the window and saw a very tall, wide, dark hair-covered person-like figure with no apparent neck standing by a tree about 150 feet away. When it seemed to notice her it stepped behind the tree, and when she glanced away to call her husband it was gone. Later that day she and her husband found large footprints and broken branches at the location.

Family hunting near Wahkiacus is stalked by a large animal

During a deer-hunting drive in foggy woods, the witness and his father found large bipedal tracks over their tire marks and concluded a bear could not have made them.

They later found uprooted small trees, additional tracks in camp, hair on fencing, and a woody debris structure, and heard screaming and a howl that prompted a relative to leave camp.
