Sasquatch sighting near Shelton, Washington (2010)

The witness parked to check two close trail cameras and felt strong pressure and dread. After hearing twig snaps and a huffing exhale, the witness looked up to see a tall black bushy figure about 20 yards away by a tree. It ducked to a squat and shuffled quickly as the witness armed the camera and ran to the road, then drove home shaken.

Hunter hears chimp-like sounds north of the North Pass ski resort

The witness was hunting elk with a muzzleloader several miles north of a ski area as snow began to fall. From a small canyon he heard chimp-like huffing and chattering that seemed to come from three individuals on both sides of the ravine. He tried to see the sources as the sounds kept moving ahead with him but saw nothing, then returned to camp as the storm worsened and daylight faded.

Hikers near Eatonville surprise a sasquatch drinking from the river

The witness and two companions were hiking to a waterfall when they noticed a strong musky odor. Near the middle fall they saw a large dark furred creature crouched over the river as if drinking.

March 2010 Eatonville, Pierce County, Washington Class B #28716

Possible vocalizations and rock piles in a backyard near Eatonville (w/photos)

The witness was awakened at home in the early morning by very loud, deep screams from very close outside. The sounds shifted toward the woods and continued as back-and-forth exchanges between two sources, including grunts, barks, cries and shorter screams over many minutes. The witness's three dogs cowered by the door rather than chasing, and the sounds eventually receded north into the woods until they stopped.

July 2009 Bothell/Woodinville, Snohomish County, Washington Class B #30670

Night time foot race with an unseen animal near Woodinville

Late at night the witness walked home alone along a familiar wooded trail and heard something moving parallel in the brush, breathing heavily. When the witness stopped the sounds stopped, and when walking resumed the follower kept pace. The witness ran toward home and the follower pursued onto gravel and pavement on two feet while making low growls and calls and trying to cut the witness off. At the house the witness's dog confronted the unseen pursuer, which halted very close before withdrawing into the brush.

Two hunters describe vocalizations, stalking, rock-throwing, near Elbe

Two hunters parked before sunrise in fog to hunt heard whooping and tongue-clicking calls from the treeline and heard the caller circle them in the woods.

They later heard a very large animal moving away breaking branches, found no sign after sunrise, and left to hunt elsewhere.

Man hears possible vocalizations close to his home near Eatonville

The sounds faded and returned as if the source moved deeper into the woods and back before leaving for the last time.

Couple camping NW of Mt. Rainier hear loud vocals and footsteps

The witness and a companion camped overnight in a wooded area. Around 3 a.m. the witness heard a very loud whoop-like vocalization nearby that ended in a bird-like sound, followed shortly by a distant answering call. When the witness shone a flashlight toward the treeline, something nearby fled at a jog, producing audible heavy footsteps. The companion later reported hearing another more distant vocalization, and a morning search found no clear tracks in dense underbrush.

Possible whistles and wood knocks heard between Tonasket and Republic

The witness was cutting firewood off a mountain road with a companion when she heard a brush snap, then about an hour later heard slow knocking, a soft whistle, and gibberish-like vocalizations from a heavily wooded canyon across the road. The sounds were unfamiliar to her despite being raised in the mountains. She looked into the trees but saw nothing, and a return the next day had no repeat.

Possible vocalizations directed at camp of boy scouts near Omak

The witness was camping overnight with a scout troop at a small crescent-shaped lake. After the group settled around 10-11 p.m., a very loud two-part call was heard three or four times from brush in a draw at the north end of the lake, sounding more distant each time. Shortly before dark the witness had noticed a strong musty odor near camp, and the youths in camp reportedly also heard the calls.
