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.

Scream in Washington (2010)

During a BFRO trip to Bumping Lake with a friend, the guest was woken around 3:30 a.m. by loud bellowing screams. A hand pushed and swished across the tent near his face and knocked back when he hit the fabric, then walked away.

Man hunting deer finds unusual feces and hears animal

While hunting deer alone in the morning, the witness heard repeated sounds like logs or poles being thrown, then found a tree with bark removed, a large packed bed, a human-like track, and unfamiliar scat. After glimpsing brown fur duck behind a log, the witness heard an extremely loud low roar-like yell from behind with crashing, then heard crashing and throwing sounds staying out of sight while leaving for about 200 yards. No full animal was clearly seen.

Hikers find nest-like structure in dense forest north of Monroe

Two companions hiked in a dense second-growth gorge to look around the landowner's property. They found a concealed woven tunnel of undergrowth leading to a domed chamber and entered it but found no evidence or odor. Both felt suddenly spooked without seeing or hearing anything and left quickly, and bad weather prevented a return.

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.

Family hunting near Wahkiacus is stalked by a large animal

During a deer-hunting drive in foggy woods, the witness and his father found large bipedal tracks over their tire marks and concluded a bear could not have made them. As they circled back, an unseen animal tracked them, producing a strong foul odor and a high-pitched squeal before thrashing off toward the mother waiting at the truck. They later found uprooted small trees, additional tracks in camp, hair on fencing, and a woody debris structure, and heard screaming and a howl that prompted a relative to leave camp.

Three brownish figures seen moving on nearby foothill

The witness and two companions were talking on a porch in the afternoon when they noticed three brownish figures moving on a nearby foothill for about ten minutes. They walked to the spot after the figures left and found a heap of branches resembling a bed, with some branches torn from trees high off the ground. The witness noted an absence of claw marks or bear prints and questioned how the branches could have been placed without tools.
