Homeowner describes ongoing activity from a neighboring swamp and takes interesting photos outside Colfax

Around midnight on January 21, 2017 the witness was making calls from the front porch and received a wood knock response from across the street, which drew the dog into the woods. When the dog went quiet the witness entered the woods, beat on an oak and shouted for the dog, then heard knocks, chest-beating, howls, a bluff charge and a tree pushed over while seeing eyeshine. After the witness told the entity to back away, the dog returned and they went home.

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.

Snowshoers find possible tracks in the Antoine Peak Conservation Area

The witness and her husband were snowshoeing in the early afternoon when they noticed a strong foul odor and a single set of large bipedal tracks in the snow.

The tracks led to a hill edge where they appeared to leap down toward a clearing, with paired landing marks visible below.

Close road side sighting while driving early in the morning West of Longwood

While driving to work in the dark, the witness noticed a bulky shape by the roadside that he first mistook for dumped furniture.

He passed within mirror distance and then saw in the rearview mirror that the figure was gone.

Whoop in Washington (2017)

A couple days into a solo Olympic coast hike, the witness heard single whoops from close range near a point and again from a secluded beach. Later he followed a bear trail over a ridge where a dark creature came at him on all fours within 10 feet, then silently backed away without turning and hunkered down. That night bipedal footsteps approached his creek-side camp then retreated, and he felt urged to leave the next morning.

When she later listened from her balcony the forest had gone completely silent.

Looking from a guest-room window, she then watched a huge dark figure moving quickly across the neighbor's pasture to the northwest.

A morning search found no tracks besides their own, no vocalizations were heard, and the indoor dog remained quiet.

Tree break in New York (2017)

The witness and a companion spent three days fishing and camping at a remote lake. On calm nights trees fell near camp, and each dawn they heard rhythmic wood-on-wood pounding for nearly an hour. They saw a dark partial figure behind a lakeshore pine, heard a long piercing scream with fast hillside movement, heard distant talk-like sounds and short screams, and found a single large human-like footprint in mud on the way out. They also saw an orange light over the lake that split into smaller lights, followed later by jets overhead.
