Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about Washington Bigfoot
reports. That's correct, Washington
Bigfoot reports. And of course, we're talking
about the state of Washington. And I found this cool site,
Washington bigfoot.com. You can link there at my Kofi
site. Of course, you can find that on
Spotify. Thanks to all the folks that
support the program over there. And at Kofi, don't forget to
like, subscribe and follow the program as well as a cost no
money. But this is a neat, neat site
and they've got a bunch of stuff listed here.
They've got some reports right on the front page along with
some news. The first report says a lady and
her child LinkedIn Bigfoot post lands on BFROA Bigfoot report
that has been on LinkedIn since March of 2021 has landed in the
Bigfoot Field Research Database as report number 68969, Class A,
the only new report added to BFRO from Washington state so
far in 2023. The sighting happened in August
in mid 1990s near the Tutle River and Callas County.
It says the report is of two Bigfoot one approximately 6 feet
tall and one 3 1/2 feet tall on standing on the edge of a gravel
Rd. They were both very hairy.
They're straight, coarse brown hair about the collar of elk and
was about 10 inches long. Their bodies were completely
covered with hair except for their faces, hands and feet.
They were extremely fast and wasted no time disappearing into
the woods. You can just imagine this person
driving along seeing this looks like a parent and child Bigfoot
standing on the edge of the road as they just skedaddle right
into the right into the timber there.
Pretty cool sighting. Now this next sighting that
these are from 2023. I'll do a couple three of them
here. So it says that report number
707-6065 near Cougar. And if we click on the sighting
it tells us that this happened May 14th, 2023 in Washington and
Kalis County. It says we were camping at
Merrill Lake compound in Washington, about 10 miles
southwest of Mount Saint Helens when we heard one single tree
knock. It occurred about 22, 30, I mean
10:30 at night as we were sitting around the camp for our
relaxing Mount Saint Helens. You know, we've heard a lot
about Bigfoot there. And after that volcano went off,
I got to look into that a little bit further.
We were camping on the east side of Merrill Lake and the knock
sounded like it came from the West side of the lake,
approximately 1/2 to one mile away.
We did not see any lights on the opposite side of the lake where
the knock came from, nor did we see anyone on that side of the
lake either. The night was clear, no wind and
during and it was during the weekday.
The tree knock sounded similar to a baseball bat hitting a tree
and did not sound like a tree limb Falling says there was one
of the witness we were sitting on the campfire and that it
occurred at 2230 clear night with no wind.
Tamp was around 50 to 60°. Let's imagine a beautiful night
out there camping 50 to 60° and I hear this strange tree knock
from across the lake. It goes on, it says we were
camping along the east side of Merrill Lake, surrounding the
lake, and is the forest on the western side where the knock
occurred. They had previously logged, but
we're not logging while we were camping.
No workers were on that side of the lake while we were there.
And then it has a follow up here by the BFRO, investigator
Nicholas Bella says. I spoke to the witness over the
phone. He lives in California.
He and his girlfriend were on a several weeks long vacation
throughout the Cascades on May 14th.
They were sitting around the campfire when they heard the
sound. The Merrill Lake campground was
empty. It was just him, his girlfriend,
and another camper in the area who they weren't associated with
around 10:30 to 11:00. They had just finished dinner
and had heard what sounded like a baseball bat hitting a tree
from across the lake. The witness and his girlfriend
were not making any noise or playing music.
They were just sitting quietly chatting with each other, he
said. It sounded like it came from up
on one of the hills on the western side of the lake.
It was just one wood knock and they didn't hear anything else
that night, he said. He attempted to replicate the
noise on trees around the campground, but couldn't find
any that really mimicked the sound.
He remarked how they saw no lights or signs of any activity
or movement on the West side of the lake.
He has never had a similar experience, despite frequently
going camping and hiking. Now that's definitely a strange
thing. I mean, something had to make
that noise, right? That tree knock didn't get made
by itself. Now this one here is from July
10th. It says 2019.
Click click a cat. County Washington says location
details White Salmon River South of Mount Adams and then it gives
a coordinates and it says nearest town.
White Salmon Washington nearest Road 1, Highway 141 Highway 141
Observed on July 10th, 2019 After whitewater rafting on the
White Salmon River in Washington state.
I observed an extremely tall hominid walk across the river.
I would estimate its height in the seven foot 6 inch plus
range, but it was skinny. I was resting and rafting after
hiking in approximately 1 mile down a trail.
This is a calmer stretch of the White Salmon River watching and
I was watching other kayakers go by occasionally here.
The river is usually no more than two feet deep.
After a period with no kayakers, in about 30 minutes, I watched
what I can only describe as a Sasquatch or Bigfoot walked out
of the woods about 80 yards away from the opposite side of the
river and cross the river. It was coming slightly in my
direction as it crossed. I was startled and actually
terrified and had my camera phone on me, but realized I
could not open the camera app, likely in time to get a pic or
video. So I observed it closely for the
dozen or so seconds it took to cross the river.
As I said, at least 7 1/2 foot tall based on the fact that I
could see its head at or above the trees at the riverbank as it
went through. The hominid was covered in very
black hair with noticeable bare areas across the chest and hip
area, also less hair under the armpit.
The hair on its head was also black and looked very much like
a shorter dreadlocks. I could see the nose and lips
are very human like, but not the eyes across the river.
Not in a great hurry, but just like it wanted to get out of the
open. I believe it saw me as it close
as its closest approach was about 50 yards because it turned
his body slightly in my direction.
And that is when I could see the face, nose and lips across the
river went through the trees and then I could hear it going up a
large embankment. I was shocked and had an almost
overwhelming sense of fear It would not talk about it for a
while. I talked with an old timer lady
in the area. She was confident I'd seen one
of their teenagers. They're tall and skinny, just
like our, she said. It's cool how some of these
older folks are just so much more accepting of these things
than, you know, people caught up their daily to day lives.
It's got some great topographical maps where you can
really get an idea of what's going on with this thing.
We can go on down through this. And then it has a follow up
investigation. The witness has a call.
The witness has college training in biology.
He used to work as a biologist at Denali National Park in
Alaska. He knows what all the common
animals of Washington state look like, especially bears.
He and his friend JJ were enjoying a day of kayaking on
the White Salmon River between the communities of Trout Lake
and the town of White Salmon. The White Salmon River flows S
from Mount Adams to the Columbia River.
The first part of the day was kayaking with a guide service on
the upper portion of the river where the Rapids were
challenging. He said that after that they
were very tired. They drove S to a place where JJ
knew they could park at a trailhead and hike in a mile to
the river. The river in this area within 3
miles of the town of White Salmon is much calmer and more
relaxing. They were paddling down the
river when JJ had to take a business call.
They pulled off to the West side of the river.
JJ went out around some bushes about 25 yards and out of sight
to make his call. The witness was just sitting
quietly watching the kayakers and rafters go by.
The last kayaker had passed about 30 minutes ago when the
Sasquatch waded into the river from the east bank and crossed
to the West Bank. The witness watched it in shock
and disbelief as it crossed. Even though he had his phone
with him, it was not turned on. There was no time to do so.
He watched intently as an angled across the river, coming closer
to him. It started out about 80 yards
downstream and was only 40 or 50 yards away when it reached his
side of the river. The Bigfoot noticed the witness
and turned his head and shoulders to look at him as it
hurried into the Riverside brush and up the bank and out of
sight. The creature had black, shiny
hair, about two to three inches long.
The hair was thin or missing under the arms.
The hair on its head looked short like dreadlocks, the
witness said. When it turned to look at him,
he got a good look at his face. There was no sagittal Crest.
It had heavy protruding brow ridges that shattered the eyes
so he couldn't see them. It's nose was not flat like
A-frame, mate, it was more like a human nose.
It had very broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
He said it was skinny as a human teenager might be estimated to
be around £250. As he passed through the
Riverside brush, he could see the head above the brush, so he
estimated it to be 7 1/2 feet tall.
He felt that based on his stature, that it was a young
adult male. The witness said that the shock
of seeing a Sasquatch was so upsetting that he was in terror.
He realized that if it wanted to harm him, there was nothing he
could do to escape. He said that his friend was a
skeptic and not responsive to hearing about it, so he didn't
tell him until much later. He said that he couldn't talk
about it with anybody for six months.
It was just too disturbing to him.
I found this witness to be a thoughtful and articulate
person. He's very experienced with
wildlife, so he would unlikely misidentify what he saw.
Yeah, wow, that's crazy. Here's another one here.
It says 2023. It happened May 28th.
Washington Mason County goes on and starts off.
It says on Sunday May 28th 2023 at around 7:00 AM myself, my
husband and my brother went for a nature walk near his parents
property. We found an old logging Rd. near
the South end of the island in the center.
Mankey Lumber pretty much owns much the entire of the island so
it's all Evergreen Tree farmland.
Half of this 89 acre parcel was clear cut in about 2015 so it is
now growth shrubbery. The other half is old growth
Evergreen forest with some wetland mixed in.
At the entrance of the logging Rd. is an orange locked gate
indicating it is a logging Rd. The public isn't welcome to
drive through it, but it is open to walkthrough.
When we first parked we noticed at the interest of the path is
multiple gunshot shells scattered around the gravel and
the brush surrounding the gravel.
Rd. was 1 discarded woman's Nike shoe, a pair of broken glasses
and some empty energy drink cans along with bundles of twigs
wrapped together with what appeared to be purple leather,
but on closer examination it was a very old rubber band.
We also noticed many signs, I'm assuming from the locals, that
say not to pick up the shrubbery.
We left it all alone and started our trek up the Gravel Rd. for
the first part of the walk. It is a fairly steep climb up a
gravel road and once you turn the corner and can no longer see
the bottom of the road where the car is parked, it starts to even
out a bit but still climb somewhat.
On the left is where the trees were cleared and it's all newer
growth, about 7 year old trees or so and surrounded by brush.
And on the right is tall old growth trees in a dense forest.
When we reach the top of the peak there was a small clearing
and you could see these, this amazing view of the whole forest
on the clear cut side. It was beautiful and a
destruction and rebirth kind of way.
We stopped for a few minutes and took in the view that is when we
first heard the owls, which first there was just one coming
from maybe a mile or so out in the in the new growth forest.
At first I thought it was an owl, which was weird because it
was a little late or early to hear an owl, considering it was
well into the morning and the sun was all the way up by this
point. We continued on our path.
We found more of those bundles of twigs with really old purple
rubber bands around them, and as the land fully evened out, there
was a sort of marsh on our right side and the trees were broken
at really odd seemingly intervals that did not appear
natural at all, and the path began to get narrow because the
trees began to overhang the whole path as we got further and
further away from the new growth forest and started to enter.
The old growth land were full and were fully surrounded by
large Evergreen trees, and the sun was beginning to be hidden
by the cover of the tree tops. We found another small clearing
on the left side of the road, except this one.
You had to walk through a narrow trail to get to, and the oddly
shaped broken branches were there, again, seemingly placed
on purpose and various arrangements surrounding the
circle opening in the forest. None of us went back on that
trail to the clearing. This is when we decided to turn
back and started heading back toward the car.
Sounds like they were getting a little bit freaked out, a little
spooked out. Maybe they're maybe their Spidey
senses were kicking in the whole time we were on the path.
The owl sounds never stopped. They actually got louder and
seemingly closer, and there were multiple of them.
Then they were coming from both sides of the trail.
It seemed like they were communicating with each other.
My husband stopped us every few minutes to listen.
As we were continuing down the path, he noticed that the owl
sounds weren't coming from above us, as if they were in the trees
like an owl would do. They were coming from the ground
level. At one point we heard what
sounded like muffled voices, as if someone were in the trees but
had their mouth covered. He couldn't speak, followed by a
very loud and low pitched growl that was maybe 20 feet into the
old forest near us. A feeling of dread kind of
surrounded us at this point, but we didn't feel like anything
wanted to hurt us per SE. More like just letting us know
we were not welcome there and they were watching us intently.
As soon as we started our descent down the road and could
finally see the car parked at the entrance between the locked
gate, the owl sounds finally ceased, but the feeling of dread
that we were not welcome we did not dissipate until we were
driving down the road and finally got back to my husband's
parents property a few miles away.
Well, also broken branches that were placed in unnatural
configurations and abandoned shoes and glasses, bundles of
twigs wrapped in purple rubber bands.
The owl sounds were not from owls, they were coming from the
ground level and we're much deeper than that of an owl.
They seem like they were communicating with each other
across the forest. They did not want us there.
We heard a muffled voice like someone had their hand over
someone's mouth so they couldn't speak.
Wow, that is strange. That's like a close encounter.
They didn't actually see him, but they definitely heard
something that says follow up investigation report by BFR
Investigator, BFRO Investigator Scott Taylor.
As I called the witness, this is what she related to me.
The witness, her husband and her brother were visiting her
parents home on Harstine Island. They decided to take an early
walk in the woods up a short distance to the gated Rd. that
led on to some timber company land parking at the gate.
The three walked up the logging Rd. through a clear cut only a
few years old. At the other side of the clear
cut was an older cut area where the trees are now 20 to 30 feet
tall. As they walked, they heard what
sounded like owls. She said that there were one or
two on their left side and three to four on the right side.
These owls called back and forth to each other and followed along
with them, getting closer and closer.
The further they went, the more unwelcome they felt.
They turned around and started walking back.
When they got to the tree line, they heard a very loud, deep
growl from what seemed to be only 20 feet away.
She said that she could hear the sounds of sticks breaking as
whatever it was followed along with them.
They could not see what was following them.
She also mentioned finding trees broken off in a way that didn't
seem natural. This was especially noticed near
the marsh area that runs North and South of the middle of the
island. And talking to her I found that
she had another experience at about 7 to 8 months ago.
She was in Silverdale, WA near the animal shelter.
She said that she saw a bear quote UN quote on 2 feet cross
the road in front of her. Her son also saw saw it.
The creature was walking, hunched over on two legs and was
very fast, almost like a glide. It was dark brown or black in
color. The time was around 6:00 PM on
6/11/2023. My wife and I met the witness
and her husband at the gate. The time was just afternoon.
We hiked the path that they had taken and I asked her to point
out where they were when they heard the owls and where they
and where they were when they were guiled at.
The impression I had from talking to her on the phone
about how the events unfolded was different from what I saw at
the scene. I may have misunderstood her as
I didn't have the exact location on the location correct on the
Google Earth. When I was talking to her, it
turned out that there were two possible gates that both fit the
same description. In her report, they were only a
half a mile apart. We observed that the brush under
the trees, mostly sable and BlackBerry, was dense enough to
hide a large animal, especially if it were on all fours.
But we also noted that the forest starts out as a 5 to 6
year old clear cut for 1/4 mile, then transitions to the trees
that were 20 to 30 feet high for another 300 yards and then
finally 50 to 60 year old second growth with their head high
brush. There is plenty of good cover to
hide an entire family of sasquatches.
We explored some side roads looking for any evidence.
We did find a tree that had been bent in an upside down U-turn
shape and the arch was about 20 feet tall.
The tree was estimated to be 12 inches in diameter, had been
there a long time. We passed through this forest to
a clear cut on the far side. At this point we turned around
and started back. I do not believe that what they
first thought were owls were actually owls.
First, it was daylight. The local owls would not likely
be vocalizing. Owls will not follow people.
However, Sasquatches are well known to mimic owls and other
birds and animals and use those vocalizations to communicate
with each other. Further, if people were in an
area where sasquatches were living, I would expect that they
would follow, flank, and escort people out of the area using all
using alcohols and growls that is commonly reported.
Harstein Island has long been known for Sasquatch encounters.
There's certainly adequate forest cover as well as access
to shelfies, small animals, mushrooms, and berries.
The location is only about a mile from the home where Julie
Scott visits the forest people and her family lived.
That is a strange encounter and I didn't actually see him, but
it's almost as if they could certainly feel in there.
Now I'm going to do one last one here.
This is from August 5th, 2022, Washington State County, Shaka
Media County. Location says for Lawrence Lake
campsite #1. Sleeping in my tent and woke up
abruptly for seemingly no reason.
Woke up to an unexplained adrenaline rush.
Laying there, I began to hear sounds coming from probably no
more than 50 to 100 feet behind her tent. 5 or so sounds like
grinning. Whoops.
Although I'm not sure how to exactly describe the noise, it
was like nothing I have ever heard before.
This was not a human or a regular animal noise.
They were on screams. They were loud but somewhat low
pitch, if that makes sense. There seemed to be two of these
beings making these sounds at each other, not just one.
After the grinning whoops came several loud wood knocks.
It was either wood on wood or a very heavy fist on wood.
It sounded like one of the beings knocked a few times and
another one responded with more knocks from down The way I knew
what I was hearing was unexplainable and I was
terrified. I laid awake for about an hour
of silence and was able to fall back asleep.
Wow, because everybody else slept through it.
Yeah, maybe these are like UFOs. Not everybody sees them when
they show up. It's got a great map here.
It shows you where they're at. It's kind of a really remote
area. Goes on down here with the
follow up and it says the investigator says I spoke with
witness Brooke Laughlin by phone.
She is a stay at home mom with five children.
Her husband drives a fuel delivery truck in Washington.
The family is camped at Florin Lakes three times previously.
Nothing strange happened on those previous trips.
The father says his own family along with him, had a possible
incident there when he was a child.
They heard something large walk through their camp in the early
AM, which they thought was not a regular animal.
The combination of big grunting whoops and loud wood knocks and
the early AM makes this an opportune place to get sound
recordings. It may not.
It may not be difficult to do. No hiking involved.
The campsite itself is a good bet for recordings or an
encounter. If you can be a night owl for a
night or two during remaining warm months of 2022, stay up as
late as possible into the AM, set quietly in a camp chair in
the shadows of trees at distance from the campfire.
Meld into the darkness with a good recorder rolling on a stump
nearby. Be able to note down the time
when you hear interesting sounds, so it will be easier to
find them in the audio recorder later.
Be patient, because things may not start happening until 2:30
AM or so. Wow, that's pretty well.
And yeah, I guess there you go, there's your tip if you're
looking to hunt these back, these these Sasquatch.
And it's got a pretty good, a pretty good bit of detail about
the area and it's got some pictures here of of the of the
area where this where these things were cited at or more
observed or heard at. Wow, what a great site and what
a great link to bfro if you're if you're into Bigfoot or you
like to follow them. I just think it's a fascinating
topic and I just love reading these first hand reports of
people either seeing them or hearing them or having
encounters with them. This is the kind of thing that
really helps. And even though, you know, we
mostly focus on UFOs here, you never know what kind of
breakthrough is going to come through from these people with
the observations they make or what evidence they can pick up
from these Bigfoot encounters. Because I think it's all
connected. Until next time, UFO warning
over and out.
