00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,320
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,280
In this episode, we're talking 
about Washington Bigfoot 

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,320
reports. 
That's correct, Washington 

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,320
Bigfoot reports. 
And of course, we're talking 

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,680
about the state of Washington. 
And I found this cool site, 

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,000
Washington bigfoot.com. 
You can link there at my Kofi 

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,400
site. 
Of course, you can find that on 

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,000
Spotify. 
Thanks to all the folks that 

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,160
support the program over there. 
And at Kofi, don't forget to 

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,360
like, subscribe and follow the 
program as well as a cost no 

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,240
money. 
But this is a neat, neat site 

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,360
and they've got a bunch of stuff
listed here. 

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,160
They've got some reports right 
on the front page along with 

14
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,040
some news. 
The first report says a lady and

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,080
her child LinkedIn Bigfoot post 
lands on BFROA Bigfoot report 

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,760
that has been on LinkedIn since 
March of 2021 has landed in the 

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,520
Bigfoot Field Research Database 
as report number 68969, Class A,

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,440
the only new report added to 
BFRO from Washington state so 

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,480
far in 2023. 
The sighting happened in August 

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,000
in mid 1990s near the Tutle 
River and Callas County. 

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,120
It says the report is of two 
Bigfoot one approximately 6 feet

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,200
tall and one 3 1/2 feet tall on 
standing on the edge of a gravel

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,000
Rd. 
They were both very hairy. 

24
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,600
They're straight, coarse brown 
hair about the collar of elk and

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,920
was about 10 inches long. 
Their bodies were completely 

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,320
covered with hair except for 
their faces, hands and feet. 

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,880
They were extremely fast and 
wasted no time disappearing into

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,040
the woods. 
You can just imagine this person

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,840
driving along seeing this looks 
like a parent and child Bigfoot 

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,680
standing on the edge of the road
as they just skedaddle right 

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000
into the right into the timber 
there. 

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,040
Pretty cool sighting. 
Now this next sighting that 

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,160
these are from 2023. 
I'll do a couple three of them 

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,240
here. 
So it says that report number 

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,560
707-6065 near Cougar. 
And if we click on the sighting 

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,600
it tells us that this happened 
May 14th, 2023 in Washington and

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Kalis County. 
It says we were camping at 

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Merrill Lake compound in 
Washington, about 10 miles 

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,720
southwest of Mount Saint Helens 
when we heard one single tree 

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600
knock. 
It occurred about 22, 30, I mean

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,000
10:30 at night as we were 
sitting around the camp for our 

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,520
relaxing Mount Saint Helens. 
You know, we've heard a lot 

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,120
about Bigfoot there. 
And after that volcano went off,

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,760
I got to look into that a little
bit further. 

45
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,400
We were camping on the east side
of Merrill Lake and the knock 

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,680
sounded like it came from the 
West side of the lake, 

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,320
approximately 1/2 to one mile 
away. 

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,040
We did not see any lights on the
opposite side of the lake where 

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,320
the knock came from, nor did we 
see anyone on that side of the 

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,040
lake either. 
The night was clear, no wind and

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,720
during and it was during the 
weekday. 

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,320
The tree knock sounded similar 
to a baseball bat hitting a tree

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360
and did not sound like a tree 
limb Falling says there was one 

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480
of the witness we were sitting 
on the campfire and that it 

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,640
occurred at 2230 clear night 
with no wind. 

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,440
Tamp was around 50 to 60°. 
Let's imagine a beautiful night 

57
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,400
out there camping 50 to 60° and 
I hear this strange tree knock 

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,760
from across the lake. 
It goes on, it says we were 

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,160
camping along the east side of 
Merrill Lake, surrounding the 

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,160
lake, and is the forest on the 
western side where the knock 

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,400
occurred. 
They had previously logged, but 

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,200
we're not logging while we were 
camping. 

63
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,240
No workers were on that side of 
the lake while we were there. 

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,600
And then it has a follow up here
by the BFRO, investigator 

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Nicholas Bella says. 
I spoke to the witness over the 

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
phone. 
He lives in California. 

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,360
He and his girlfriend were on a 
several weeks long vacation 

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,320
throughout the Cascades on May 
14th. 

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,440
They were sitting around the 
campfire when they heard the 

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,960
sound. 
The Merrill Lake campground was 

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,720
empty. 
It was just him, his girlfriend,

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,400
and another camper in the area 
who they weren't associated with

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,480
around 10:30 to 11:00. 
They had just finished dinner 

74
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,160
and had heard what sounded like 
a baseball bat hitting a tree 

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,160
from across the lake. 
The witness and his girlfriend 

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,040
were not making any noise or 
playing music. 

77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000
They were just sitting quietly 
chatting with each other, he 

78
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,920
said. 
It sounded like it came from up 

79
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,760
on one of the hills on the 
western side of the lake. 

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,400
It was just one wood knock and 
they didn't hear anything else 

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,440
that night, he said. 
He attempted to replicate the 

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,800
noise on trees around the 
campground, but couldn't find 

83
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,480
any that really mimicked the 
sound. 

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
He remarked how they saw no 
lights or signs of any activity 

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,840
or movement on the West side of 
the lake. 

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320
He has never had a similar 
experience, despite frequently 

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,320
going camping and hiking. 
Now that's definitely a strange 

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,000
thing. 
I mean, something had to make 

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,600
that noise, right? 
That tree knock didn't get made 

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,680
by itself. 
Now this one here is from July 

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,520
10th. 
It says 2019. 

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,160
Click click a cat. 
County Washington says location 

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,000
details White Salmon River South
of Mount Adams and then it gives

94
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,520
a coordinates and it says 
nearest town. 

95
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,320
White Salmon Washington nearest 
Road 1, Highway 141 Highway 141 

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Observed on July 10th, 2019 
After whitewater rafting on the 

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,600
White Salmon River in Washington
state. 

98
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,480
I observed an extremely tall 
hominid walk across the river. 

99
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,040
I would estimate its height in 
the seven foot 6 inch plus 

100
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,400
range, but it was skinny. 
I was resting and rafting after 

101
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,720
hiking in approximately 1 mile 
down a trail. 

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,640
This is a calmer stretch of the 
White Salmon River watching and 

103
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,000
I was watching other kayakers go
by occasionally here. 

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,320
The river is usually no more 
than two feet deep. 

105
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,440
After a period with no kayakers,
in about 30 minutes, I watched 

106
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,960
what I can only describe as a 
Sasquatch or Bigfoot walked out 

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,280
of the woods about 80 yards away
from the opposite side of the 

108
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:46,520
river and cross the river. 
It was coming slightly in my 

109
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,760
direction as it crossed. 
I was startled and actually 

110
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,760
terrified and had my camera 
phone on me, but realized I 

111
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200
could not open the camera app, 
likely in time to get a pic or 

112
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,600
video. 
So I observed it closely for the

113
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,800
dozen or so seconds it took to 
cross the river. 

114
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,600
As I said, at least 7 1/2 foot 
tall based on the fact that I 

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,560
could see its head at or above 
the trees at the riverbank as it

116
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,280
went through. 
The hominid was covered in very 

117
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,880
black hair with noticeable bare 
areas across the chest and hip 

118
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920
area, also less hair under the 
armpit. 

119
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,880
The hair on its head was also 
black and looked very much like 

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,760
a shorter dreadlocks. 
I could see the nose and lips 

121
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,120
are very human like, but not the
eyes across the river. 

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,960
Not in a great hurry, but just 
like it wanted to get out of the

123
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,840
open. 
I believe it saw me as it close 

124
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:37,800
as its closest approach was 
about 50 yards because it turned

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,600
his body slightly in my 
direction. 

126
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,720
And that is when I could see the
face, nose and lips across the 

127
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,160
river went through the trees and
then I could hear it going up a 

128
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,200
large embankment. 
I was shocked and had an almost 

129
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,400
overwhelming sense of fear It 
would not talk about it for a 

130
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,160
while. 
I talked with an old timer lady 

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,600
in the area. 
She was confident I'd seen one 

132
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,720
of their teenagers. 
They're tall and skinny, just 

133
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360
like our, she said. 
It's cool how some of these 

134
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,600
older folks are just so much 
more accepting of these things 

135
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,600
than, you know, people caught up
their daily to day lives. 

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320
It's got some great 
topographical maps where you can

137
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,520
really get an idea of what's 
going on with this thing. 

138
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,040
We can go on down through this. 
And then it has a follow up 

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,000
investigation. 
The witness has a call. 

140
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,200
The witness has college training
in biology. 

141
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360
He used to work as a biologist 
at Denali National Park in 

142
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Alaska. 
He knows what all the common 

143
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
animals of Washington state look
like, especially bears. 

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160
He and his friend JJ were 
enjoying a day of kayaking on 

145
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,120
the White Salmon River between 
the communities of Trout Lake 

146
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,080
and the town of White Salmon. 
The White Salmon River flows S 

147
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,280
from Mount Adams to the Columbia
River. 

148
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,880
The first part of the day was 
kayaking with a guide service on

149
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,440
the upper portion of the river 
where the Rapids were 

150
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,920
challenging. 
He said that after that they 

151
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,000
were very tired. 
They drove S to a place where JJ

152
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,800
knew they could park at a 
trailhead and hike in a mile to 

153
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,800
the river. 
The river in this area within 3 

154
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,760
miles of the town of White 
Salmon is much calmer and more 

155
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,160
relaxing. 
They were paddling down the 

156
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,880
river when JJ had to take a 
business call. 

157
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,840
They pulled off to the West side
of the river. 

158
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,120
JJ went out around some bushes 
about 25 yards and out of sight 

159
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,720
to make his call. 
The witness was just sitting 

160
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,320
quietly watching the kayakers 
and rafters go by. 

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120
The last kayaker had passed 
about 30 minutes ago when the 

162
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Sasquatch waded into the river 
from the east bank and crossed 

163
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,799
to the West Bank. 
The witness watched it in shock 

164
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,919
and disbelief as it crossed. 
Even though he had his phone 

165
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,440
with him, it was not turned on. 
There was no time to do so. 

166
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,240
He watched intently as an angled
across the river, coming closer 

167
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,280
to him. 
It started out about 80 yards 

168
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,720
downstream and was only 40 or 50
yards away when it reached his 

169
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,560
side of the river. 
The Bigfoot noticed the witness 

170
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,000
and turned his head and 
shoulders to look at him as it 

171
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,960
hurried into the Riverside brush
and up the bank and out of 

172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,280
sight. 
The creature had black, shiny 

173
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,800
hair, about two to three inches 
long. 

174
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,320
The hair was thin or missing 
under the arms. 

175
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,720
The hair on its head looked 
short like dreadlocks, the 

176
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,680
witness said. 
When it turned to look at him, 

177
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,480
he got a good look at his face. 
There was no sagittal Crest. 

178
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,680
It had heavy protruding brow 
ridges that shattered the eyes 

179
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,760
so he couldn't see them. 
It's nose was not flat like 

180
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,280
A-frame, mate, it was more like 
a human nose. 

181
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,320
It had very broad shoulders and 
a narrow waist. 

182
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,880
He said it was skinny as a human
teenager might be estimated to 

183
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,240
be around £250. 
As he passed through the 

184
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,680
Riverside brush, he could see 
the head above the brush, so he 

185
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,440
estimated it to be 7 1/2 feet 
tall. 

186
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,760
He felt that based on his 
stature, that it was a young 

187
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,720
adult male. 
The witness said that the shock 

188
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,320
of seeing a Sasquatch was so 
upsetting that he was in terror.

189
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800
He realized that if it wanted to
harm him, there was nothing he 

190
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,320
could do to escape. 
He said that his friend was a 

191
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,760
skeptic and not responsive to 
hearing about it, so he didn't 

192
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360
tell him until much later. 
He said that he couldn't talk 

193
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,120
about it with anybody for six 
months. 

194
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,760
It was just too disturbing to 
him. 

195
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,880
I found this witness to be a 
thoughtful and articulate 

196
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,680
person. 
He's very experienced with 

197
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:18,480
wildlife, so he would unlikely 
misidentify what he saw. 

198
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,440
Yeah, wow, that's crazy. 
Here's another one here. 

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,840
It says 2023. 
It happened May 28th. 

200
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320
Washington Mason County goes on 
and starts off. 

201
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,320
It says on Sunday May 28th 2023 
at around 7:00 AM myself, my 

202
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
husband and my brother went for 
a nature walk near his parents 

203
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,640
property. 
We found an old logging Rd. near

204
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,720
the South end of the island in 
the center. 

205
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,120
Mankey Lumber pretty much owns 
much the entire of the island so

206
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,960
it's all Evergreen Tree 
farmland. 

207
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,440
Half of this 89 acre parcel was 
clear cut in about 2015 so it is

208
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,800
now growth shrubbery. 
The other half is old growth 

209
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Evergreen forest with some 
wetland mixed in. 

210
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,280
At the entrance of the logging 
Rd. is an orange locked gate 

211
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,720
indicating it is a logging Rd. 
The public isn't welcome to 

212
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,240
drive through it, but it is open
to walkthrough. 

213
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:15,480
When we first parked we noticed 
at the interest of the path is 

214
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,880
multiple gunshot shells 
scattered around the gravel and 

215
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,200
the brush surrounding the 
gravel. 

216
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,440
Rd. was 1 discarded woman's Nike
shoe, a pair of broken glasses 

217
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,680
and some empty energy drink cans
along with bundles of twigs 

218
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,680
wrapped together with what 
appeared to be purple leather, 

219
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,200
but on closer examination it was
a very old rubber band. 

220
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,480
We also noticed many signs, I'm 
assuming from the locals, that 

221
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,080
say not to pick up the 
shrubbery. 

222
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,440
We left it all alone and started
our trek up the Gravel Rd. for 

223
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,360
the first part of the walk. 
It is a fairly steep climb up a 

224
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,120
gravel road and once you turn 
the corner and can no longer see

225
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,320
the bottom of the road where the
car is parked, it starts to even

226
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,200
out a bit but still climb 
somewhat. 

227
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,160
On the left is where the trees 
were cleared and it's all newer 

228
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,680
growth, about 7 year old trees 
or so and surrounded by brush. 

229
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,960
And on the right is tall old 
growth trees in a dense forest. 

230
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,280
When we reach the top of the 
peak there was a small clearing 

231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,320
and you could see these, this 
amazing view of the whole forest

232
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
on the clear cut side. 
It was beautiful and a 

233
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,560
destruction and rebirth kind of 
way. 

234
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,560
We stopped for a few minutes and
took in the view that is when we

235
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:29,720
first heard the owls, which 
first there was just one coming 

236
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,640
from maybe a mile or so out in 
the in the new growth forest. 

237
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,120
At first I thought it was an 
owl, which was weird because it 

238
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,120
was a little late or early to 
hear an owl, considering it was 

239
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,480
well into the morning and the 
sun was all the way up by this 

240
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,840
point. 
We continued on our path. 

241
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,120
We found more of those bundles 
of twigs with really old purple 

242
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,040
rubber bands around them, and as
the land fully evened out, there

243
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,920
was a sort of marsh on our right
side and the trees were broken 

244
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,200
at really odd seemingly 
intervals that did not appear 

245
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,720
natural at all, and the path 
began to get narrow because the 

246
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,560
trees began to overhang the 
whole path as we got further and

247
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,640
further away from the new growth
forest and started to enter. 

248
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,320
The old growth land were full 
and were fully surrounded by 

249
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,400
large Evergreen trees, and the 
sun was beginning to be hidden 

250
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,960
by the cover of the tree tops. 
We found another small clearing 

251
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,800
on the left side of the road, 
except this one. 

252
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,560
You had to walk through a narrow
trail to get to, and the oddly 

253
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,720
shaped broken branches were 
there, again, seemingly placed 

254
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,520
on purpose and various 
arrangements surrounding the 

255
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,880
circle opening in the forest. 
None of us went back on that 

256
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,760
trail to the clearing. 
This is when we decided to turn 

257
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,920
back and started heading back 
toward the car. 

258
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Sounds like they were getting a 
little bit freaked out, a little

259
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,440
spooked out. 
Maybe they're maybe their Spidey

260
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,680
senses were kicking in the whole
time we were on the path. 

261
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:54,360
The owl sounds never stopped. 
They actually got louder and 

262
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,440
seemingly closer, and there were
multiple of them. 

263
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,040
Then they were coming from both 
sides of the trail. 

264
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,560
It seemed like they were 
communicating with each other. 

265
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,440
My husband stopped us every few 
minutes to listen. 

266
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,760
As we were continuing down the 
path, he noticed that the owl 

267
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,440
sounds weren't coming from above
us, as if they were in the trees

268
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
like an owl would do. 
They were coming from the ground

269
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,080
level. 
At one point we heard what 

270
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,240
sounded like muffled voices, as 
if someone were in the trees but

271
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,000
had their mouth covered. 
He couldn't speak, followed by a

272
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,520
very loud and low pitched growl 
that was maybe 20 feet into the 

273
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,840
old forest near us. 
A feeling of dread kind of 

274
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,520
surrounded us at this point, but
we didn't feel like anything 

275
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,560
wanted to hurt us per SE. 
More like just letting us know 

276
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,520
we were not welcome there and 
they were watching us intently. 

277
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,440
As soon as we started our 
descent down the road and could 

278
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,720
finally see the car parked at 
the entrance between the locked 

279
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,800
gate, the owl sounds finally 
ceased, but the feeling of dread

280
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,200
that we were not welcome we did 
not dissipate until we were 

281
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,040
driving down the road and 
finally got back to my husband's

282
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,760
parents property a few miles 
away. 

283
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,400
Well, also broken branches that 
were placed in unnatural 

284
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,360
configurations and abandoned 
shoes and glasses, bundles of 

285
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,840
twigs wrapped in purple rubber 
bands. 

286
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,560
The owl sounds were not from 
owls, they were coming from the 

287
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,200
ground level and we're much 
deeper than that of an owl. 

288
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,000
They seem like they were 
communicating with each other 

289
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,920
across the forest. 
They did not want us there. 

290
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,240
We heard a muffled voice like 
someone had their hand over 

291
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,840
someone's mouth so they couldn't
speak. 

292
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Wow, that is strange. 
That's like a close encounter. 

293
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,080
They didn't actually see him, 
but they definitely heard 

294
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,320
something that says follow up 
investigation report by BFR 

295
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,600
Investigator, BFRO Investigator 
Scott Taylor. 

296
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,440
As I called the witness, this is
what she related to me. 

297
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,360
The witness, her husband and her
brother were visiting her 

298
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,080
parents home on Harstine Island.
They decided to take an early 

299
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920
walk in the woods up a short 
distance to the gated Rd. that 

300
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,120
led on to some timber company 
land parking at the gate. 

301
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,080
The three walked up the logging 
Rd. through a clear cut only a 

302
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,920
few years old. 
At the other side of the clear 

303
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,360
cut was an older cut area where 
the trees are now 20 to 30 feet 

304
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,520
tall. 
As they walked, they heard what 

305
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,400
sounded like owls. 
She said that there were one or 

306
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,240
two on their left side and three
to four on the right side. 

307
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,840
These owls called back and forth
to each other and followed along

308
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,000
with them, getting closer and 
closer. 

309
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,160
The further they went, the more 
unwelcome they felt. 

310
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,600
They turned around and started 
walking back. 

311
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,680
When they got to the tree line, 
they heard a very loud, deep 

312
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,200
growl from what seemed to be 
only 20 feet away. 

313
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600
She said that she could hear the
sounds of sticks breaking as 

314
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,480
whatever it was followed along 
with them. 

315
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,720
They could not see what was 
following them. 

316
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,560
She also mentioned finding trees
broken off in a way that didn't 

317
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,360
seem natural. 
This was especially noticed near

318
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,840
the marsh area that runs North 
and South of the middle of the 

319
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,800
island. 
And talking to her I found that 

320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,640
she had another experience at 
about 7 to 8 months ago. 

321
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,520
She was in Silverdale, WA near 
the animal shelter. 

322
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,480
She said that she saw a bear 
quote UN quote on 2 feet cross 

323
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,400
the road in front of her. 
Her son also saw saw it. 

324
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,160
The creature was walking, 
hunched over on two legs and was

325
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,040
very fast, almost like a glide. 
It was dark brown or black in 

326
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,079
color. 
The time was around 6:00 PM on 

327
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,680
6/11/2023. 
My wife and I met the witness 

328
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,240
and her husband at the gate. 
The time was just afternoon. 

329
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,720
We hiked the path that they had 
taken and I asked her to point 

330
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,560
out where they were when they 
heard the owls and where they 

331
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,680
and where they were when they 
were guiled at. 

332
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200
The impression I had from 
talking to her on the phone 

333
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,960
about how the events unfolded 
was different from what I saw at

334
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,240
the scene. 
I may have misunderstood her as 

335
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,880
I didn't have the exact location
on the location correct on the 

336
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,840
Google Earth. 
When I was talking to her, it 

337
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,360
turned out that there were two 
possible gates that both fit the

338
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:48,640
same description. 
In her report, they were only a 

339
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
half a mile apart. 
We observed that the brush under

340
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,640
the trees, mostly sable and 
BlackBerry, was dense enough to 

341
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,920
hide a large animal, especially 
if it were on all fours. 

342
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,720
But we also noted that the 
forest starts out as a 5 to 6 

343
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,840
year old clear cut for 1/4 mile,
then transitions to the trees 

344
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,080
that were 20 to 30 feet high for
another 300 yards and then 

345
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,360
finally 50 to 60 year old second
growth with their head high 

346
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,560
brush. 
There is plenty of good cover to

347
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,720
hide an entire family of 
sasquatches. 

348
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,720
We explored some side roads 
looking for any evidence. 

349
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,680
We did find a tree that had been
bent in an upside down U-turn 

350
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,120
shape and the arch was about 20 
feet tall. 

351
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,720
The tree was estimated to be 12 
inches in diameter, had been 

352
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,720
there a long time. 
We passed through this forest to

353
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,200
a clear cut on the far side. 
At this point we turned around 

354
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,440
and started back. 
I do not believe that what they 

355
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,160
first thought were owls were 
actually owls. 

356
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,320
First, it was daylight. 
The local owls would not likely 

357
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,880
be vocalizing. 
Owls will not follow people. 

358
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:57,880
However, Sasquatches are well 
known to mimic owls and other 

359
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,520
birds and animals and use those 
vocalizations to communicate 

360
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,200
with each other. 
Further, if people were in an 

361
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,840
area where sasquatches were 
living, I would expect that they

362
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,120
would follow, flank, and escort 
people out of the area using all

363
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,840
using alcohols and growls that 
is commonly reported. 

364
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,600
Harstein Island has long been 
known for Sasquatch encounters. 

365
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,080
There's certainly adequate 
forest cover as well as access 

366
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,040
to shelfies, small animals, 
mushrooms, and berries. 

367
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:29,280
The location is only about a 
mile from the home where Julie 

368
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,520
Scott visits the forest people 
and her family lived. 

369
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,480
That is a strange encounter and 
I didn't actually see him, but 

370
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,640
it's almost as if they could 
certainly feel in there. 

371
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,400
Now I'm going to do one last one
here. 

372
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,880
This is from August 5th, 2022, 
Washington State County, Shaka 

373
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,720
Media County. 
Location says for Lawrence Lake 

374
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,720
campsite #1. 
Sleeping in my tent and woke up 

375
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,160
abruptly for seemingly no 
reason. 

376
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Woke up to an unexplained 
adrenaline rush. 

377
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Laying there, I began to hear 
sounds coming from probably no 

378
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,800
more than 50 to 100 feet behind 
her tent. 5 or so sounds like 

379
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,640
grinning. 
Whoops. 

380
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,040
Although I'm not sure how to 
exactly describe the noise, it 

381
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000
was like nothing I have ever 
heard before. 

382
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,120
This was not a human or a 
regular animal noise. 

383
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,680
They were on screams. 
They were loud but somewhat low 

384
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,040
pitch, if that makes sense. 
There seemed to be two of these 

385
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,360
beings making these sounds at 
each other, not just one. 

386
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,200
After the grinning whoops came 
several loud wood knocks. 

387
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,840
It was either wood on wood or a 
very heavy fist on wood. 

388
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,640
It sounded like one of the 
beings knocked a few times and 

389
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,800
another one responded with more 
knocks from down The way I knew 

390
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,760
what I was hearing was 
unexplainable and I was 

391
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,160
terrified. 
I laid awake for about an hour 

392
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,920
of silence and was able to fall 
back asleep. 

393
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,960
Wow, because everybody else 
slept through it. 

394
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,440
Yeah, maybe these are like UFOs.
Not everybody sees them when 

395
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,640
they show up. 
It's got a great map here. 

396
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,160
It shows you where they're at. 
It's kind of a really remote 

397
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,520
area. 
Goes on down here with the 

398
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,920
follow up and it says the 
investigator says I spoke with 

399
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,000
witness Brooke Laughlin by 
phone. 

400
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,880
She is a stay at home mom with 
five children. 

401
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,120
Her husband drives a fuel 
delivery truck in Washington. 

402
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,760
The family is camped at Florin 
Lakes three times previously. 

403
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Nothing strange happened on 
those previous trips. 

404
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,120
The father says his own family 
along with him, had a possible 

405
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,720
incident there when he was a 
child. 

406
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:32,760
They heard something large walk 
through their camp in the early 

407
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,000
AM, which they thought was not a
regular animal. 

408
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,000
The combination of big grunting 
whoops and loud wood knocks and 

409
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,960
the early AM makes this an 
opportune place to get sound 

410
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,200
recordings. 
It may not. 

411
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,120
It may not be difficult to do. 
No hiking involved. 

412
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,840
The campsite itself is a good 
bet for recordings or an 

413
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,200
encounter. 
If you can be a night owl for a 

414
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,680
night or two during remaining 
warm months of 2022, stay up as 

415
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,160
late as possible into the AM, 
set quietly in a camp chair in 

416
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,880
the shadows of trees at distance
from the campfire. 

417
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:08,960
Meld into the darkness with a 
good recorder rolling on a stump

418
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,360
nearby. 
Be able to note down the time 

419
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160
when you hear interesting 
sounds, so it will be easier to 

420
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,160
find them in the audio recorder 
later. 

421
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Be patient, because things may 
not start happening until 2:30 

422
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,760
AM or so. 
Wow, that's pretty well. 

423
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,520
And yeah, I guess there you go, 
there's your tip if you're 

424
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,440
looking to hunt these back, 
these these Sasquatch. 

425
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,480
And it's got a pretty good, a 
pretty good bit of detail about 

426
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,960
the area and it's got some 
pictures here of of the of the 

427
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,760
area where this where these 
things were cited at or more 

428
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,000
observed or heard at. 
Wow, what a great site and what 

429
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,040
a great link to bfro if you're 
if you're into Bigfoot or you 

430
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,400
like to follow them. 
I just think it's a fascinating 

431
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,920
topic and I just love reading 
these first hand reports of 

432
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080
people either seeing them or 
hearing them or having 

433
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,440
encounters with them. 
This is the kind of thing that 

434
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,320
really helps. 
And even though, you know, we 

435
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,080
mostly focus on UFOs here, you 
never know what kind of 

436
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,840
breakthrough is going to come 
through from these people with 

437
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,160
the observations they make or 
what evidence they can pick up 

438
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600
from these Bigfoot encounters. 
Because I think it's all 

439
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,440
connected. 
Until next time, UFO warning 

440
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,080
over and out.
