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.

Unnerved by the sense of being surrounded, he packed up and drove out without seeing anything.

Wood knock near Tenino, Washington (2017)

The witness brought youth cadets to a large private property near Tenino for an overnight field training camp.

Armed staff held a perimeter until the woods fell silent and the air felt lighter, then broke camp at sunrise and left without ever seeing the source.

Possible vocalizations on Little Si Trail outside North Bend

Two people hiking in the morning heard a repeated loud alarm-like holler ending each time in a strange ape- and human-like vocalization. The witness imitated the sound a few times, and both listeners concluded it could not be human or a wolf/coyote due to lung capacity and lip-like articulation. Believing the source sounded closer and could be a large unknown animal, they ran back to the car without seeing anyone else on the trail.

Nothing was ever seen, and the group left the hillside quickly after the close growls, later listening from camp.

Starting early Saturday morning and continuing Saturday night into Sunday morning, they heard series of very loud roar-like vocalizations from a creek bed several hundred yards away. The sounds lasted up to 45 minutes at a time, frightened the group and a dog, and led a camper to ready a pistol. Steep terrain prevented them from investigating for tracks.
