Hunters hear aggressive yells and knocks near Addy for over an hour

Two hunters walking on an old logging road just before dark heard a very loud breathy yell and a stick-like strike from dense brush about 50 feet away. Over about an hour they heard dozens of repeated yells, each followed by one or two knocks, and saw no other people in the area. They returned to their hunting spots with rifles loaded and later thought the sounds matched yelling and wood knocking shown on a Bigfoot television program.

Hiker Hears Loud Vocalizations and Thumps

The witness sat near a swamp waiting for frogs to resume and heard rapid deep thumping from a hillside across the swamp, followed by a second similar series some distance away on the same hill. Shortly after, a short constant hollow call came from each thumping area in turn. The witness stated the sounds were not woodpeckers and asked whether such thumping indicates proximity.

Unusual sounds heard near Enumclaw

Two people became locked behind gates on dirt access roads and had to spend the night in their car. After dark they repeatedly heard loud wood-on-wood knocking sounds very close each time they stopped the car. They moved the car several times to different roads, but the knocking resumed shortly after each stop and continued until sunrise. After sunrise they noticed a bark wound high on a tree near the car.

Two fishermen hear tree knocking and low roar outside Matlock

Two companions were fishing in a creek on a snowy afternoon when they heard loud impacts like wood striking a tree from two nearby positions, followed minutes later by a deep growling roar that frightened them. They left the water, picked up rocks, and walked back through the woods to their vehicle without seeing the source. They later interpreted the sounds as possibly from a sasquatch.

Berry picker hears possible wood knocks east of Aberdeen

In July 2002, the witness stopped on an isolated logging spur to pick blackberries and heard repeated loud wood-on-wood knocking from a ridge above. Believing no other people or vehicles were in the area, he chose not to climb the steep, dense slope to investigate and left after the sounds continued from one location. He only later associated the sounds with alleged Bigfoot behavior after reading reports online.

Loud roars and screams heard from an unknown animal near Stanwood

On a warm summer evening at dusk in 2000, the witness was with two dogs at the edge of a forested ravine on the property.

Campers hear screams and wood knocking near Bumping Lake

A family camping beside a swamp heard a long scream-like grunt that shifted to a screech and ended in grunt-huffing from 100-200 feet away, causing their dogs to react strongly. About 15 minutes later they heard stick-on-stick knocks to the north, then again 15 minutes later from farther north, with no movement detected between sounds. A morning search found no tracks or broken brush, and the family moved camp to another area.

Hiker encounters intimidating beating sounds and heavy running footsteps

The witness parked to hike a closed-area trail and heard loud, fast drumming sounds from two directions that could be felt as percussion. After smelling a strong unfamiliar musky odor, the witness heard and felt heavy footsteps moving rapidly through brush ahead and then across a second trail as if cutting them off. The witness fled cross-country back to the vehicle without ever seeing the source and heard the drumming again near the vehicle.

Loud knocking of wood striking another piece of wood

The witness and a companion were walking back to a truck during a follow-up visit when they heard repeated loud wood-on-wood knocks coming from near the truck. After waiting and trying their own knocks without response, they heard something run through the woods sounding bipedal at a sprint. They stayed by the truck until another vehicle arrived and then left.

June 1998 Randle, Skamania County, Washington Class B #1647

Witness heard what sounded like sticks being beaten on wood

The witness stopped on a bridge over a washed-out creek to videotape the creek bed while sightseeing. While filming he heard heavy wood-on-wood strikes from the left answered from the right at varying intervals, which he verified was not an echo. Feeling anxious, he returned to his idling vehicle and left, and a relative later reviewed the tape where the beats were faintly audible and recorded an interview with the witness that evening.

Deer hunters find footprints in mud

While hunting deer with a companion in October 1996, the witness found two well-defined human-like footprint sets in mud of very different sizes. About five minutes later a very loud pounding was heard from dense woods downhill no more than about 50 feet away, prompting them to move away. About 300 yards away they found a third footprint set intermediate in size between the first two.

Equipment operator finds tracks in three feet of snow near Molson

Two loggers arriving before daylight found fresh large tracks in snow at a landing and followed them briefly.

The boss believed the tracks were sasquatch, and the witness came to believe a bigfoot was watching them.

Memory told of hearing possible daytime knocking while working as a Fire Guard in the Pasayten Wilderness

After finishing a tour at a wilderness lookout in 1949, the witness hiked out along a wide, flat trail. From about 100-150 yards to the right, the witness heard several loud impacts described as long dry posts striking tree stumps. No loggers or campers were known to be in the area, and the witness found the sounds unlike anything previously heard in the woods.

In January the witness and a friend slept in a pickup near the site. At night they heard stick drumming back and forth, felt something push the door and slap the glass, and heard a food bucket being moved for about an hour. The audio recorder disappeared, and next-morning backpack video showed a figure ducking behind two trees by the truck.
