Witness heard what sounded like sticks being beaten on wood
The witness stopped on a bridge over a washed-out creek to videotape the creek bed while sightseeing. While filming he heard heavy wood-on-wood strikes from the left answered from the right at varying intervals, which he verified was not an echo. Feeling anxious, he returned to his idling vehicle and left, and a relative later reviewed the tape where the beats were faintly audible and recorded an interview with the witness that evening.
Two unsusual man-like tracks discovered
The witness reports finding two unknown animal footprints on a sandy area near a river bar, with one print destroyed by stepping and the other identified as a clear right foot. The prints appeared to be a week or more old and were heading from the forest toward the river. The witness photographed the remaining print and hoped to return for a cast and measurements.
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.
Late at night, man hears powerful vocalizations south of Port Townsend
Late at night the witness was inside a trailer in the woods when a loud, strange bellowing was heard twice from the woods. The witness stepped outside onto the porch to listen and judged the sound came from 100 to 150 yards away and from a very large, nocturnal animal. After waiting, the witness walked up a nearby dirt road with a flashlight but found nothing.
Footprints found with huge Toes on each print
Five companions on a camping trip drove to near the top of Corral Pass to scout a hike. While looking for tracks in snow, they found a trail of large bare footprints with distinct toes and no claws. They concluded the prints were not bear or boot prints and continued their trek in silence.
Creature seen by witnesses at the bottom of the hill
The witness and a companion were elk hunting from a ridge when they heard soft murmuring voices they took for approaching hunters. They then heard heavy thumps retreating down the brushy ridge and briefly saw a big black object moving fast into the trees on the flat below. Both initially considered a black bear but later felt that explanation did not fit the vocal sounds and movement.
Sasquatch seen while father and son were hunting elk
The witness and his youngest son were hunting with family and heard noises they thought were elk. While investigating on foot, they noticed a dark trunk-like shape in the bushes about 25 yards away that appeared to have eyes that moved. The son locked the vehicle door and urged immediate departure. The witness remains mostly but not fully convinced the shape was not a tree.
Screams heard by hunters
Two people talking loudly while hunting heard two or three loud, high-pitched screams described as like a sick cow. They took cover behind a log as loud branch-breaking and thumping sounds seemed to approach them, then the sounds stopped abruptly and they left the area quickly.
Sighting by a deer hunter on a logging road.
The witness was deer hunting from an old logging road overlooking a cleared area when a tall bipedal figure emerged from the treeline across a draw. At first mistaking it for a very large man on a road, he realized it was far taller than a human with long strides and brown coloration. The figure appeared to turn toward him, then returned into the treeline. He later crossed to the spot and found no road, only uneven ground and a steep draw beyond.
Forest worker has many encounters with bigfoot
Two forestry workers resurveying a remote allotment for a timber harvest reported being followed at a distance while smelling a heavy stench. During a break they heard large movement in the brush, threw a piece of wood toward the sound, and then saw the backlit shadows of four hair-covered figures behind bushes in a break of sunlight. The witness described two large males standing motionless, a thin female with a hump who vocalized and wrung her hands, and a smaller child-sized figure, before the light faded and the pair left the area to finish work later.
Campers hear loud guttral, high pitched sceams.
The witness was camping and sitting by the fire at dawn with an accompanying young child. Both heard a loud, guttural scream repeated three times with abrupt stops that carried across the valley. The witness interpreted the sound as a Bigfoot vocalization and suggested it was a warning about campers being present.
Creature seen crossing road
The witness was driving alone toward a family camp when a large white-haired biped crossed the highway about 50 yards ahead. The figure walked upright with wide strides, moving from dense forest on one side to an overgrown old logging road on the other without looking toward the car. The witness slowed at a pullout, noted the location relative to a curve warning sign, and later measured the spot as one mile north of a highway turnoff.
Marines on a training mission have a possible night encounter on Fort Lewis
The witness was serving as point man on a night patrol exercise at Ft. Lewis when he encountered a very large human-like figure at close range in moonlight. Frightened, he fired blanks from his squad automatic weapon at it. The figure ran away bipedally through thick brush with huge steps and disappeared over a hill. Marines behind him reportedly also saw it.
Memory told of hearing a possible vocalization from a tent during noon storm at Goose Lake
The witness was fishing near Goose Lake by Trout Lake and took shelter in his tent during a noon thunderstorm. He heard one loud, powerful vocalization estimated 50 to 100 yards away that echoed down the canyon and felt in his chest. After the rain stopped he smelled a wet-dog and urine-like odor for about an hour.
Hikers find tracks and a possible nest
Two people backpacking found several large fresh bipedal footprints on a steep forest slope. One track was measured at 16 inches long, with a stride over four feet that was difficult to replicate on the slope. They followed the tracks uphill to a large volcano-shaped nest of pine needles and photographed the track and nest.
Odor near Marysville, Washington (1997)
The guest and three companions visited the quarry caretaker and walked toward the quarry pond. After smelling a musky odor and finding a large nesting area, they saw a female creature sitting by a berry bush that stood and quickly left into the woods. They tracked snapping sounds and heavy breathing with amplified equipment for over an hour until the sounds stopped near a clear-cut.
Hiking couple hears calls and finds footprints near Mt. Adams
In late fall 1997 the witness and her husband were camping in the Mt Adams Wilderness Area when around 4 a.m. they heard a loud strange vocalization from 800 to 1000 meters away. The sound combined roaring, warbling and guttural yodeling with a high-pitched scream element and was repeated four or five times before all went quiet. Neither witness saw an animal.
Hunters hear unusual animal stalking them at night.
Two hunters camped overnight on a wooded slope while elk hunting. After dark they smelled a strong putrid odor, heard distant whistle/howl sounds and a closer loud howl, then heard deliberate footsteps crunching in snow approaching the firelight. After shouting and firing a pistol shot, they heard a grunt and running footsteps, then fired repeatedly and drove off the mountain the same night.
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.
Deer hunters find footprints in mud
While hunting deer with a companion in October 1996, the witness found two well-defined human-like footprint sets in mud of very different sizes. About five minutes later a very loud pounding was heard from dense woods downhill no more than about 50 feet away, prompting them to move away. About 300 yards away they found a third footprint set intermediate in size between the first two.
