Hikers report possible sasquatch vocals + stalking in center of Harstine Island

Three people walking a gated logging road in the morning heard owl-like calls that seemed to come from ground level, move with them, and come from both sides of the trail. They also heard muffled voice-like sounds and a very loud, low-pitched growl from close in the forest. They noticed oddly broken and arranged branches near a marsh and clearing, felt unwelcome and watched, and left when the sounds stopped near the car.

Hunters experience possible vocalizations, wood knocks, felled trees, over eight days in Squaw Valley

Two hunters spent eight days camping in a tent while hunting. Most nights they heard moaning/howling and reciprocal wood knocks that seemed to move closer, and one night heard growls outside the tent but saw nothing when they rushed out with guns and flashlights. Twice they returned from hunting to find trees blocking or inside camp, including a large healthy green pine pushed over. After losing sleep they left for a family cabin and returned next morning to find the tent zipper partly open with the lantern still on.

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.

Two men observe Strange Lights and a "Finger" up close near Mt. Saint Helens

They remained on site afterward playing music and talking.

Possible sighting by clay pigeon shooters near the base of Mt. Rainier

Four adults spent the day trap shooting at a dead-end road near a washed-out bridge. During a lunch break they noticed a tall dark stump-like shape about 25-30 yards into the forest and watched it remain motionless for 30-45 minutes. When they later looked again the shape was gone, leaving no matching stump. They concluded the object may have been a sasquatch calmly observing them despite hours of shotgun noise.

Man Hears Evening Vocals in Prior Sighting Area

Late at night the witness heard loud, complex bark- and growl-like vocalizations coming from a ravine near the house. The sounds were described as louder and more structured than dogs, coyotes, or other familiar animals, and local dogs began barking during the episode. An attempted audio recording failed, and the sounds eventually stopped. The next day the witness found trampled vegetation, a coyote carcass, tarp pieces, a dog dish, and scat near the estimated sound source.
