Growl near Port Angeles, Washington (2025)

The witness was staying alone in a small trailer-like Airbnb outside of town and had fallen asleep for the night. She was awakened by the bed swaying, wood creaking, a loud boom against the building and a deep low growl. She propped up, looked through a gap in the curtains and saw a large brown bipedal shape move very fast past the window with heavy footsteps, then hid under the covers in intense fear until morning without going outside to check.

Growl near Beaver, Washington (2024)

The witness was sleeping lightly in a tent on family property during a reunion camping trip after several nights of growls, whoops, and sounds of movement in the woods. About 1:46am something pressed the back of the tent against her back, grabbed her left arm through the fabric, and shook the tall air mattress violently while a bright white light shone on the tent. The shaking and light stopped, and she found the tent had been pushed 5 to 7 feet forward. She stayed awake, left the next morning, and later found fingerprint-like marks on her arm that were photographed.

Stalking by a large creature around family tents at midnight at Skookumchuck Reservoir

The witness was lying awake in a tent at a restricted lakeside camp around midnight when she heard slow, rhythmic footsteps circling the campsite for about 45 minutes. The walker paused near food areas, approached another tent when a child cried, and left after a car alarm sounded, stepping over a fence into the woods. She never opened the tent to look and concluded from the stride and sounds that it was not human.

Two pedestrians encounter a sasquatch 3 miles south of Littlerock near Black River

Two people walking on opposite sides of a road heard rustling in brush on an adjacent old railroad bed. The closer witness looked and saw a very dark, massive, hair-covered form about 20-30 feet away. The creature turned from side view to face them, stepped toward them, then squatted down and stared, showing amber eyes and a hair-covered face.

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.

Footsteps in Washington (2023)

The guest and her partner sat around a fire hearing movement and taps on both sides that stopped when they stopped talking. While walking toward the house in darkness she felt paralyzed mid-step with an electrical feeling but could still speak. She then heard heavy running steps clear the yard, after which she could move again.

Backpackers describe possible camp stalking by a sasquatch around midnight near Salmo-Priest Wilderness

Three campers were sleeping in tents at a wilderness campsite when they heard three loud bounces around midnight. Two of them left the tents, heard something heavy run down the hill, and threw rocks toward it without seeing anything. The next morning they recreated a very similar bouncing sound by throwing a log, then packed out early without spending a second night.

8 August 2020 Cougar, Skamania County, Washington Class B #65980

Campers describe loud branch snap, howls, and possible track, northeast of Cougar

The witness and a relative camped overnight beside a creek after scouting the area for hunting. Around 10 p.m. a loud nearby branch break woke them, but a flashlight search revealed nothing. An hour later distant howls woke them again, with further responses heard after the witness howled back, and footsteps were later heard near the tent. Next morning a single large deep footprint was found near the tent and photographed.

Campers describe sounds, rock throwing and brief sighting at dark near Wind River Work Center outside Carson

Four campers spending the night near a creek reported hearing aggressive vocalizations described as a mix of whoops and screams, then seeing the silhouette of a very tall figure with a wide torso about fifteen feet away. They retreated to their truck before setting up camp, and later that night heard a deep whistle, crunching footsteps, pebbles hitting tents, and a branch breaking, along with a foul odor while a small dog growled. By morning a chair was found knocked over, but no tracks were located on the rocky ground.

Tracks in Washington (2019)

On return visits to the same trail, the witness and companions left recorders and apples placed high, found large sideways hillside steps with no deer or elk tracks, and later were told recorders captured bipedal activity hours after they left. On a later off-trail visit they found odd tree structures and a 14-inch by 4-inch track, plus a partial track on another visit. About a month before the show he heard a double chest-thump sound while exiting.

Whistle in Washington (2019)

The witness hiked a trail near Lake Easton in the evening, noticed a snapped tree across the trail and bent trees, then whistled and knocked. After a loud limb snap behind him, he knocked loudly on a tree and heard something bipedal rush toward him making loud huffing and dinosaur-like sounds. He stood, saw nothing in the brush despite the closeness of the sounds, then walked out with bear spray.

Elk hunter reports trees being pushed over and vocalizations in the Colonel Bob Wilderness

On opening day of elk season the witness camped alone on a remote spur road after hunting all day. After dark he struck a tree with a limb, then heard a large tree pushed over upslope, primate-like yells and chatter from both upslope and the ravine below, and heavy footsteps. Unnerved by the sense of being surrounded, he packed up and drove out without seeing anything.

A couple sleeping in their parked SUV at a logging-road campsite were awakened around 2:30 a.m. when the wife felt a firm touch on her leg through a partially open rear window and then heard light footfalls moving away. Neither witness saw anything when listening and peeking out. In the morning they found very large muddy fingerprints on the vehicle near the window.

Hiker has daytime sighting in Colville National Forest

The witness was hiking with a group through a field when he hid by a lone tree after hearing movement and saw a tall dark shaggy figure partly concealed at the wood line about 25 to 30 yards away for about thirty seconds. He became nervous and ran to his companions as loud noise occurred and a tree was reported to fall. Three companions heard the noises but only the witness reports a visual.

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.

Two rock climbers hear wood knocks and footsteps in the early morning at a trailhead

Two hikers arrived at a trailhead in the early morning to climb and heard knocks from uphill and downhill, followed by stick-breaking sounds like footsteps. They knocked back and received responses, filmed the exchange, then heard further knocks and repetitive rock-on-tree tapping as they started up the trail. They saw nothing in the dense woods and eventually left.

Footsteps in Washington (2016)

In mid-July the witness overnighted with the retired veterinarian after hanging game cameras. Around 1:45 a.m. he heard something walk around his tent three times and snap a twig. A strong rotten meat and feces odor then filled the area and made his eyes water. He did not see the source.

On a hot Memorial Weekend the witness and a friend camped in tents at an abandoned riverside campsite miles from the original area. They heard surrounding whoops, rock hits on tents, thumping from all sides, and a tree pushed over. Through the night something walked through camp, repeatedly charged the witness tent and grabbed the tent floor, showing large knuckled hands. They left at dawn.

Vocalization in Washington (2015)

Three relatives spent Christmas night hiking and sitting in a truck on a snowy mountain. They heard childlike vocalizations, saw low eyeshine, then watched a dark six-foot figure with long arms peer from between trees. One of them left the truck and fired a rifle at it, heard nothing further, then heard heavy footsteps before leaving, returning next day to find no sign.
