Son and father observe possible bigfoot family 17mi NE of Bellingham, near Sumas Mountain. See map

The witness and his father stopped at a clearcut at night and scanned with flashlights, spotting three sets of eyeshine at different heights. The largest figure charged uphill while vocalizing, then moved toward them breaking branches before everything went silent while the two smaller figures watched from the treeline. Around midnight the large figure re-emerged, stepped over a log and walked downhill bipedally with the other two following.

Friends camping at Cedar Lake (10mi E of Wilkeson) hear possible BF vocals

Three campers were sleeping at a secluded mountain lake camp when they were awakened just after 4 a.m. by a very loud, high-pitched scream from very close by, followed by shorter vocalizations.

The reporter states they had not believed in Bigfoot before but became convinced by the experience.

Possible vocalization 4 miles north of Pawling, heard from Appalachian Trail

Scream in Washington (2018)

Eleven years after the river incident, the witness was stationed at the base and took an armored vehicle into the training areas to serve as props for scout training. After dark in a large field near the river, the group heard loud screams first from the east and then from the west. Using poor night vision they watched two dark bipedal shapes move across the field toward the river. They locked themselves inside the vehicle and felt and heard something scratching and pushing on its exterior for many minutes; at dawn they found no tracks in the dry ground and learned they had been miles from the assigned site so no scouts had been nearby.

Sasquatch sighting in Arkansas (2017)

The guest was alone on a ladder deer stand before sunrise when he heard movement and vocal exchanges between two creatures. A large hairy creature stayed partly behind a cedar tree about 35 yards away, showing an arm, leg, foot and left side of its face. Fearing for his life, he shot it just above the knee, heard a loud scream, and watched it flee very fast; he later recovered the bullet with hair and saw blood.

The next morning they found widespread broken limbs and a snapped tree but no footprints, and did not return.

Sasquatch sighting near Ozark County (2017)

The witness was staying at his uncle's cattle farm to shoot a suspected coyote stealing chickens. From a barn loft at night he watched a tall bipedal creature emerge from the tree line and move very quickly toward the coops. After he shouted, it growled, screamed and charged the barn, shaking it, while he fired dozens of rounds down at it before it fled to the woods. No blood was found, only partial tracks, and a conservation officer told them to keep quiet.

Scream near Pikeville, Kentucky (2017)

The witness and a fellow priest were in a lit open picnic area returning toward the building when they felt heavy stomping that shook the ground and heard a powerful scream-howl. Attempts to return to the building or cars triggered more screaming, grunting and felt vibrations, keeping them on a picnic table until sunrise. At sunrise they heard crashing and saw trees moving as something scaled a steep rocky hill incredibly fast, and a neighboring resident later said food offerings were left to calm activity.

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

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.

He kept a handgun trained on it, drifted away, and watched it disappear into shadows.
