Daylight road-crossing sighting by the U.S. Postal Carrier for the town of Quinault Lake (w/ low quality cellphone photos)

The witness was driving a mail route in the morning when he saw an upright figure in the road ahead. As he drove closer the figure walked upright off the road into brush beside a stump, where he took a cell phone photo. He estimated the figure at about seven to eight feet tall, very dark with several-inch-long hair, and said it did not resemble local wildlife he knows well.

Morning sighting by a woodcutter NW of Conconully

Dusk and nighttime sightings by couple at rock quarry near Greenwater

Friends lost on backroads west of Olympia are stunned by a creature with large green eyes

The occupants of a pickup became lost on logging roads late at night and stopped after the reporter noticed huge glowing eyes ahead.

The form then moved rapidly up a brushy hillside as the group drove away frightened.

Husband and wife hear possible vocalizations on Harstine Island

A couple arriving at their cabin heard distant, deep vocalizations lasting about five minutes. The sounds were described as long, low-pitched roar-like screams with a growly tone that dropped lower in pitch. Their dogs became clingy and whined, and were brought inside. The husband first suggested elk or coyote but concluded the depth and duration were not human or known animal.

Possible tracks in snow east of Humptulips (w/photo)

Four people driving logging roads found large footprints in about a foot of snow beside the road. After photographing an initial line of about six prints, they found a longer line of more than thirty prints on a landing. They concluded the prints were not human because of the large size, five toes, and long stride that the witness could not recreate.

21 January 2008 Granite Falls, Snohomish County, Washington Class B #23017

Possible vocalizations heard by resident outside Verlot

The witness was at home in the evening when barking dogs drew him outside onto the porch. From a distance he heard loud repeated vocalizations that began low and rose to a scream, apparently moving west past his location and then back south before fading after about five minutes. He described the sound as unlike any animal he knew from hunting experience and later felt it matched an archival scream recording except for a lower start.

Investigators later interviewed the witnesses, examined the photos, and revisited the site for measurements.

Possible vocalizations near Indianola

Early one Sunday morning in November 2007, the witness let the dog out before work and heard a distant howl or moan that did not sound like cougar or coyote. The sound continued for about 10 minutes, stopped while the witness went inside, then resumed in short bursts about 30 minutes later. The witness noted it sounded similar to a recording from Westmoreland, PA heard during prior research and has not heard it again despite listening daily.

California BFRO researcher has sighting with a thermal imaging unit in Wenatchee National Forest

Shortly before midnight during a multi-camp expedition, the witness borrowed a handheld thermal imager to look for the cause of a branch break near camp. Through the imager he watched a large unclothed human-like figure partly behind a tree about 30-50 yards away for over two minutes as it moved its head, dropped to the ground, crawled and gestured, then stood motionless with its back to him. He left to get recording equipment, but the figure was gone when another researcher checked moments later.

August 2007 Cougar WA, Cowlitz County, Washington Class B #20923

Group of climbers hear possible vocalizations near Cougar

The witness and four companions camped on a logging spur to climb Mount St Helens. Around 2-3 a.m., the witness and one companion awoke to very loud, distant, deep howling that lasted about 15 minutes. They had not heard the sound before and ruled out cougar and elk, tentatively considering a bear but finding it too loud for a bear at that distance. No visual contact or physical evidence was reported, and the sound was heard on only one of three nights at the site.

July 2007 Ashford, Pierce County, Washington Class B #20591

Possible sighting by clay pigeon shooters near the base of Mt. Rainier

Four adults spent the day trap shooting at a dead-end road near a washed-out bridge. During a lunch break they noticed a tall dark stump-like shape about 25-30 yards into the forest and watched it remain motionless for 30-45 minutes. When they later looked again the shape was gone, leaving no matching stump. They concluded the object may have been a sasquatch calmly observing them despite hours of shotgun noise.

Woman walking dogs hears possible vocalizations and knocks in Marymoor Park

The witness was walking dogs along the Sammamish River in Marymoor Park in the afternoon. From riverside cover about 50 yards away, a loud sustained screeching-howl was heard, clearly audible over traffic noise, startling the witness and dogs. The sound repeated farther upriver and was followed by wood-on-wood knocking, with additional knocks heard later near an old windmill. The witness searched from the bank and bridge but saw no people or animals.
