Scream in Washington (2000)

The witness and a friend camped in a clearing to target shoot the next day and sat around the fire late at night. Five short loud screams erupted from a few hundred yards away, silencing the valley.

Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2000)

Years later while researching in Washington, the witness and his wife were slowly cruising forest roads looking for trails. A huge black blur crossed immediately in front of their vehicle too fast to follow, brushing a tree that kept rocking. They saw no animal after stopping and heard no further crashing, concluding it must have been a Sasquatch moving at full speed downhill.

BFRO field investigator finds sasquatch tracks in the snow

The witness and companions drove up a snowy mountain road to search for Sasquatch sign. On the drive back down, the witness stopped after spotting tracks crossing the road and recorded them on video. Others joined to examine and follow the trail into the woods until wind and snow obscured it. The group noted the tracks had not been present on the way up.

Hunting couple has visual and auditory encounter near coast

During a day of deer hunting, the witness saw a face-like form crouched under a fir tree about 100 yards away that she felt resembled drawn depictions of Sasquatch. Later that evening she and her husband heard prolonged loud howling and screaming from the timberline that stopped abruptly when her husband stood to leave. They left without seeing the source of the sound and later interpreted the face, odor mentioned earlier in the day, and vocalizations as related.

Large animal lures men away from possible younger animal near Mt. St. Helens

Four relatives drove to the Mt. St. Helens area to look for Bigfoot in poor winter weather. From a viewpoint, a relative using a spotting scope watched a large dark upright figure move across a distant meadow and later return with a smaller figure first mistaken for a stump. The group searched the area without regaining visual contact. Shortly afterward at a nearby creek, the driver found a large bare footprint in mud and made a plaster cast of it.

Bowhunters find track and hear vocalizations near Indian Heaven Wilderness

The witness was sitting in a tree stand hunting elk in the late afternoon when the wind shifted. He heard brush breaking as an unseen animal approached on a trail, stopped, then circled 50-60 yards away out of sight while emitting repeated loud rising whoops. After the sounds stopped he climbed down, glassed the area without seeing anything, and later left apples on a stump that were gone when he retrieved the stand.

Vocalization, followed by sighting near Carnation/Fall City

Four telephone-line workers heard ape-like high-pitched sounds while working on an isolated road lined with pines and brush. After the witness mimicked the sounds, a large hairy biped crossed the road about 60-70 yards away and paced back and forth, repeatedly stopping in the road to stare at the witness. The witness described upright human-like walking, long arms at the sides, hips wider than shoulders, and an extremely large foot. The animal eventually left into thick bushes leading to heavy fir.

Blocking of walking trail

The witness regularly walked a wooded trail near office buildings during lunch. One afternoon in May 1999 the witness found a young tree freshly snapped off high up and laid across the trail to block it, with no sign of sawing, wind, or vehicle contact. The witness showed the scene to a coworker the next day and cleared the trail, and later wondered whether the damage could be related to Bigfoot. No creature was seen and no footprints or hair were checked.

Rocks thrown at two hikers on Heather Lake Trail

While taking turns stepping away to urinate near the top, each had a rock thrown at them from an unseen source. As they hurried and then ran back down, they heard heavy stomping and breaking branches moving parallel to them, and another rock was thrown after they briefly hid behind a tree, prompting them to flee to their car frightened.

Three sets of tracks found

Two bear hunters on foot found three sets of large footprints traveling together in a muddy flat back in the woods. The prints were in a low area filled with rain water and were judged to be fairly recent because the edges lacked degradation. A single plaster cast of the largest print was made within 24 hours, but the cast was poor due to inexperience.
