Handprint in Washington (2019)

Four men camped at a remote primitive site in rain and walked a forest road at night. Later back home they found a van vent window broken with glass on roof and gear, plus a large handprint with visible dermal ridges on rear glass that dwarfed a man's hand. Nothing was taken from the locked van, and they believed something approached while they were away.

Kayaker describes daylight sighting on river near town of White Salmon

After rafting, the witness rested beside a calm stretch of the White Salmon River. After about 30 minutes without kayakers, a tall skinny black-haired hominid emerged from woods about 80 yards away and waded across the river toward the witness's side. At about 50 yards it turned its head and shoulders toward the witness, then entered riverside brush and moved up an embankment out of sight.

Camper hears Ohio howls at 4-5am near Rimrock Lake.

The witness was staying overnight at a forested campground when they heard four loud howls from about a mile away between 4 and 5 a.m. Each howl lasted a few seconds and was spaced minutes apart, with distant dogs barking afterward, and the sounds stopped at dawn. The witness first thought the sounds could be wildlife or a person but later felt they matched a televised Sasquatch howl recording described as deep and ape-like.

Object throwing in Washington (2019)

The witness and his partner and young child drove to a remote area near a lake to hunt mushrooms and walked about a mile and a half to a marshy pond. While picking, a large log splashed down beside them, followed later by a large rock thrown from the tree line that splattered mud. They saw young trees shaking as something moved rapidly along the tree line without hearing vocalizations, then left and found a recently killed elk with torn hide and broken legs before hiking out.

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.

Whistle in Washington (2019)

The witness hiked a trail near Lake Easton in the evening, noticed a snapped tree across the trail and bent trees, then whistled and knocked. After a loud limb snap behind him, he knocked loudly on a tree and heard something bipedal rush toward him making loud huffing and dinosaur-like sounds. He stood, saw nothing in the brush despite the closeness of the sounds, then walked out with bear spray.

Snowmobilers hear wood knocks along Dry Canyon Road near Caldwell Lake

In December 2018 the witness and a companion stopped while snowmobiling near large caves along Dry Canyon Road. They heard wood knocks exchanged between two locations across the road, which they believed were not trees creaking under snow. The witness became anxious and they left the area.

Elk hunter reports trees being pushed over and vocalizations in the Colonel Bob Wilderness

On opening day of elk season the witness camped alone on a remote spur road after hunting all day. After dark he struck a tree with a limb, then heard a large tree pushed over upslope, primate-like yells and chatter from both upslope and the ravine below, and heavy footsteps. Unnerved by the sense of being surrounded, he packed up and drove out without seeing anything.

Howl in Washington (2018)

The guest and his wife were settling for the night in a cabin on Lake Crescent when a long, drawn-out howl came from the mountainside behind them. He notes it did not sound like coyotes or wolves he knew. Both looked at each other in disbelief.

Mother camping with her kids hears loud vocalizations from outside their tent at Joemma Beach State Park campground

A group of scouts and parents camping in tents were awakened around 2 a.m. by loud whoop vocalizations. The main witness heard three very close whoops followed minutes later by more distant whoops that seemed to move away to the north. The sound was unfamiliar and unnerving, and the group discussed a sasquatch as a possible source.

Howls in September, 3AM, from marsh south of Steilacoom, due west of McChord AFB

The witness and a companion were sitting on a screened-in porch with coffee before leaving for the airport. They heard loud calls starting as a whoop and transitioning into a prolonged anguished howl-like cry, then heard similar calls from farther away over a couple of minutes. Both were shaken and unfamiliar with the sound despite experience with regional wildlife.

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.

Mushroom picker has ongoing activity in same area over many years near Grandy Lake

The witness was searching for mushrooms on a wooded hillside in the early afternoon. They looked down and noticed an old impression in a mossy patch about 15 inches long, broad at the toes with a wide heel and a rise in the middle. Small debris was sitting in it, suggesting it had been there some time. The impression was still present in the same condition when the witness returned that fall.

Knocks north of Welcome along North Fork of Nooksack River

The witness was lying awake in her motorhome at a secluded river property shortly after midnight when she heard loud banging sounds alternating between two directions. She interpreted the sounds as coming from two individuals exchanging signals. After falling asleep and waking in the morning, she found a single large bare footprint near the gravel walkway and photographed it before it was accidentally erased.

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. They heard brush movement and other strange noises through the rest of the night, lit a small fire for reassurance, and left in the morning. The reporter states they had not believed in Bigfoot before but became convinced by the experience.

A couple sleeping in their parked SUV at a logging-road campsite were awakened around 2:30 a.m. when the wife felt a firm touch on her leg through a partially open rear window and then heard light footfalls moving away. Neither witness saw anything when listening and peeking out. In the morning they found very large muddy fingerprints on the vehicle near the window.

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.

Morning snowmobilers hear howls, tree knocks, branch break 8mi south of Rimrock Lake

Two people on snowmobiles stopped at a bridge in a remote snowy area and removed their helmets. They heard repeated loud howl-like vocalizations from one direction, loud single knocks on a tree from another direction, and a large branch breaking. After about five minutes of silence they heard another series of more distant howls and then left the area.

Hunters experience possible vocalizations, wood knocks, felled trees, over eight days in Squaw Valley

Two hunters spent eight days camping in a tent while hunting. Most nights they heard moaning/howling and reciprocal wood knocks that seemed to move closer, and one night heard growls outside the tent but saw nothing when they rushed out with guns and flashlights. Twice they returned from hunting to find trees blocking or inside camp, including a large healthy green pine pushed over. After losing sleep they left for a family cabin and returned next morning to find the tent zipper partly open with the lantern still on.
