I talked to a friend who lives on the olympic peninsula in WA. tonight. He told me a couple of weeks ago two surveyors were out on some property next to his and something large started making "Big crashing noises" in the dense woods next to them. Then whatever it was shook a fir tree back and forth violently. He said the trunk was about four inches in diameter. Then it ran. It also smelled really bad. This happened about two hundred yards from his house. He said one of the surveyors was really freaked out and his eyes were huge with fear. Also another time their horses got out and were running all over the place but by the time a cop came out to deal with the situation the horses were rounded up and put back in the corral. The cop was talking with my friend's wife about the horses and a loud crashing noise started next to them in the tree line. The officer took out his revolver or "Pee shooter" as my friend put it and went into the thick brush, treed swamp area and retreated quickly and said "There's nothing in there" and took off. He said when a guy down the road who's into Sasquatch heard about the surveyors he took off immediately with his hound and rifle. He came back with hair samples. I will interrogate my friend against his will for more information. Might just be a bear but who Knows. I also told him to put out a bait trap in Sasquatch fashion so other animals don't get it......hmmmm

Wow, very interesting! Can you find out what county it happened in and what police agancy responded? (State, County, etc)

Maheekat:
Definately hoping for a follow-up on this. Sounds like a very good chance the "mystery guest" was something not known to science. How long ago was the horse incident? Do you know? I think he should be convinced to report it to BFRO or someone who could critically examine the area.
Thanks for posting,
BSF

Very interesting...

Have the hair samples been taken to a lab for examination? If so, please let us know of the results. Interesting that the guy who was "into Bigfoot" was around and so close to the scene. If I may ask ... How far is "down the road"? I'm not suggesting anything at all mind you, but it just struck me as odd. Well, hope to hear more soon.

Actually I know plenty more details but had to withhold them until I can talk to him today. I need to make sure it's alright with him to tell of his location. I know the address and type of woods Etc. Hopefully I'll get the go ahead today and we'll take it from there. If not I'll work with him and see if he can scare up something

Ok, good. I was just asking the distance (guesstimate) from the place of sighting to the Bigfoot researcher's home. I wasn't wanting to know where the sighting exactly took place. Though I'm sure there are others that would ... but I just wanted to know how close the researcher's home is... And what is known of the researcher? Has he lived in the area long? Did he ever encounter a "Bigfoot" there? Just curious. Well, that's all for now... Hope to hear what the hairs lead too. Take Care.

Thanks for the report Maheekat and keep us updated

Well I got him on the phone tonight. He's Ok with someone coming out to look around. It's close to Port Angeles WA. on the 112. If anyone is near there they can PM me for the address. The "Researcher" can't be disclosed for various reasons but wrote a book about Sasquatch. The book will be sent to me if my friend can get one. The researcher went to the tree that was shaken and could not move it back and forth. I guess this tree was really moving. There were also "Growls" heard at the time of the tree shaking near the surveyors. My friend also had a dog disappear at the end of their driveway, a small dog. A cougar has been seen twice. I talked to the wife about the crashing next to her and the cop and she said they have lots of critters around there and it was probably an elk . The "Researcher" called the surveyors place of employment and found the older gentleman of the two is a hunter and was really shaken as well as the younger guy by the incident according to the forman of the surveying company. My friend found this out also when talking with the men. The hair sample is still in possession of the researcher. There are apple and peach trees on my friends property. So you have mountain lions hunting, elk and rare type of lynx, coyote that have been seen in the vicinity. The "Tree" incident occurred on the strait side of the area. Sorry for all the cloak and dagger sh#$t about the researcher but it ain't my call so I'm doing the best I can. I told my friend to strap a camera around is neck and to go looking for signs of activity, tree breaks, foot prints, bedding areas, scat, what ever.... to be continued.

Another report from a few years back...

Maheekat: That's exactly what happened in my own "not sure" encounter. Baboon Extra Head said that he would dash into the thick brush during such an episode - but I can only promise you that without a gun in hand there is no way that's going to happen. Unless the person is completely insane, of course.

I hope your friend is able to do something with the bait idea you suggested and is able to come up with more evidence.

Please keep us posted regarding the sample.

- Dfoot

Interesting one Maheekat. Keep us posted!

I would certainly dash into the thick brush. AND cross streams, rivers, mountians, dens of wolves, snake-pits, paranoid pot-growers booby traps, major highways, all of it, getting away from that huge hairy angry fellow in the woods.

Who wouldn't?

Me, for one, if my mother-in-law was on the other side. Now that would be a tough choice.

Me? Why I'd use rodeo skills and hog-tie the varmit and then drag him through the woods with one arm out to the big city for all to see and then... and then.. I'd...

... Oh Crap! Wait a minute. That was me. And all I did was run to the car and shut the damn door.

Well... I guess you had to have been there.

But it was so loud and mean-sounding. I didn't want to be rude by sticking around. I left the area out of my politeness. That's all. Not like I was worried or anything.


*** Seriously though, I wanted to stick around longer and see what, if anything, might stick its head out later as the sun went down but the girl I was with fired up the engine and sped off.

I guess she wasn't as mentally prepared for such an encounter as BEH would have been.

- Dfoot

Sounds like a TP episode.

Alright all you s! what the hell's going on here! I called my pal today and he's posta call me tonight...I'll shake him down for more updates if any. Anybody near the area that could investigate ?

over and out.

Somebody needs to get in there !

Time's a-wastin' !!!

Talked to the "researcher" this evening. Seems they had two possible Sasquatch in the area. He is going to send me a report as well as BFRO. I will post mine as soon as I get it, probably Tues. It is day by day reporting of the occurrences in the area. He told me of some of them. Two I found very interesting. He made a sand bed and put a box of apples in the middle of it. The box had been taken with all apples no prints. Whatever it was reached across the sand and grabbed them. Also he found a deer with it's skin peeled off and a dislocated leg. He believes The Sasquatch were there for the salmon that were running. More to follow.....

When do the Salmon run in the PNW ?
Length of run ? etc...

I thought that BFRO expedition I went on was timed to the Salmon run.. Can it last a month? I suppose it could be different for each area, and Port Angeles is up on the Northern tip of the penninsula.

He said it was the tail end of it. Also in october he had an experience. He bought about five pumpkins in the 15lb. range and brought them home for his kids. He left them on the back porch around 11:00 pm. .At 6:30am he found one of the pumpkins down the gravel driveway behind the rear wheel of his car. There were no marks on the pumpkin from rolling on the gravel. He thought his son was playing a prank and asked him if he did it and he said that he hadn't. He is in a remote area so the possibility of a human creature is low to nil.

oct 21st. gave report to bfro and wsssg about encounter me and mygirlfriend had on u.s 101 .several miles east of 101, near the hoh river area.look up wsssg {fucari67}. without any hesitation or reservation. im positive they exist in this location. does the bfro know more than the let on. im still waiting for the oct 2004 report. i would expect 'recorded vocalizations ',concrete footprints and even daytime photos. i cannot believe my sighting to be one in blue moon . if not anything new . i would put my hat with andrew peterson. seems more on the verge. jus seems, me joe blow rides upon an encounter and others are spent giving thousands upon thousands , seems its time to put the questions away and find conclusive evidence . reading through all the gibbirish/ bullshit i guess im a little fustrated . goodluck to all . may this mystery be solved.

Sorry this picture isn't too clear. There are six species of Salmon that run around there. This particular chart is for just one river section, the Nooksack, and there are 15,000 other rivers and streams in the state that have similar data charts for them. To say an expedition is timed for a Salmon run is like saying I threw a rock in Washington state and it hit water. Not hard to do.

I use to live in Port Angeles. Investigated quite a few reports around there working with Peter. I am not getting the best of feelings from this one, but I also don't have too much information other than what has been posted here. With this amount of info though, I would not make an onsite investigation. First, it is about an 8 hour drive from this side of Puget Sound, $40 in ferry fee, $80 in diesl fuel and then time off from work. I must have run off on one of these jaunts hundreds of times and have not much to show for it.

People want to keep things secret... fine. Let it remain so.

I thought the WSSSG was defuncked, zip, bye bye. They still exist? And did you write that you are giving your hat to Andrew over the BFRO? Andrew is still involved?

Question: Did the pumkin still have a stem on it? Could it have been picked up by an animal with that stem?

No I wouldn't expect you to go all that way for this one, I thought for somebody in immediate area, good question about the stem.. No secrets per say I don't like to speak for others respect their privacy no big deal. This guy said he would show who ever came out his findings. Like I said he said he will send me the report tomorrow and I will post it. If his name is in it that's his call. I believe he said his daughters heard screams a week ago but I could be wrong I was kinda burnt out when I spoke with him and didn't take notes sorry for that we talked about a lot of stuff. I figure it will be in his report if not I will call him back for more details. Either way just trying to follow a lead. If I were near the area I would check it out.

stickin with the facts :oct 16th daylight sighting, exact location not hard to find been agnostic. now a true believer . ive seen andrews website seems more dedicated to the area . you would think with all invested , we would have a little, if not alot more. jus my opinion.

if the animal had two hands reachin between its legs im sure it could pull more than just its stem...................... jus out on the weekend ,never spent 40$ on a ferry ride jus tellin ya theres something out there , needs people who could spend more time than usual out in country to find this { beast} its there goodluck to all

That's three drive by wordings....




Disclaimer: That was a smart ass remark, which makes this a smart ass remark.

You smart ass..

Here is the report. He will send pics soon. The stem was on the pumpkin DDA but no sign of teeth marks from dog or bear or whatever. This is the report....

Ref: Possible Sasquatch encounter



I( name omited ) give the following account in a sequence of events leading me to believe of an encounter with a Sasquatch (bigfoot), according to information directly given and acquired through my personal investigation.


10/11/04: At 0615 my two daughters 14 and 13, up before anyone else awoke, heard a strange, prolonged noise from xxx's bedroom on the northwest corner of the house. The bedroom window was opened but covered with plastic while the house was being painted. Both girls were visually upset. They said the noise came from the state forestland behind the chicken coup, northwest of the house. Immediately after hearing the noise the two dogs became very aggressive in barking. When I questioned them as to what they heard one daughter stated that it sounded like a combination of a whale and a dinosaur of which the other daughter agreed. Finding the answer comical I stated that I wasn’t around 2 million years ago to know what a dinosaur sounded like. “Like the dinosaur on Jurassic Park, Dad”. Both affirmed that they did not hear a coyote and I was able to determine that it wasn’t the bugle of a bull elk. My wife also heard the same noise thinking I was blowing my shofar.

10/12/04: The house painter returning from lunch, (he lives just behind the General Store) stated that two surveyors working at the corner of his property where it intersects Crescent Beach Road were spooked by loud, fierce growling and shaking of brush and a fir tree no more then 20 or 30 feet in the brush from where they were working. My house painter was commenting that the younger surveyor was really upset and the older was convinced that it was two bears in one-hell-of-a-fight. The painter told me that both men stated that there was a bad smell in the area. Within the hour I went up to the location to talk to the two men and found them to have left. This was about 1300. After finishing up my business I took my Labrador and went into the forest in the general area of the reported incident. I immediately came across what smelled like something rotten. I found no garbage or decaying carcass but did find several game trails and one main trail that lead up to the road that run parallel to state highway 112 behind the General store.

10/13/04: At about 1100 I called the surveying company and talked to the supervisor. He told me that the two surveyors on that job had left and wouldn’t be back to finish until Friday. I asked him about the bear fight and he told me that after talking to them that he believed that it was an encounter with a Sasquatch. I asked what would cause him to believe that over a bear fight, especially in that he was not present. He stated that he had encountered this type of behavior before while surveying in a remote area and once while hunting. Both times had the bad smell.

10/15/04: 1100 went to the area of the supposed bear fight and found the two surveyors working on the south side of the road. In questioning the older of the two he confirmed that it was two bears in a hell-of-a-fight. I asked why two bears. He stated that two distinct noises from two distinct bears were making the noise. He stated that the fight was so furious that the bush and alder sapling were shaking, and that a fir tree was shaking like a twig from the bears banging themselves against it. He also stated that there was definitely a foul smell during the fighting. The younger of the two surveyors stated that immediately after the fighting that whatever it was headed due south across the road towards the Olympic Mountains. He was not able to see it cross the road from where he was but heard it going through the brush on the far side of the road. The older of the two then took me to the spot where they were surveying and pointed out the fir tree, which stood no more than 25 feet into thick brush from where they were standing. He told me that he wouldn’t go into that bush unless he had a big gun for protection. At about 1400 I went into the brush to inspect the fir tree and surrounding area. In cutting sign in the area I found that the fir tree was eight inches thick eighteen inches up from the forest floor. The base of the fir was covered with a heavy cote of moss and numerous small twigs a foot to two feet long in the lower regions of the fir. The forest floor was beat-up pretty bad yet the moss on the fir tree was not disturbed, nor were any of the prominent twigs on the lower part of the fir disturbed. At about five feet up I did find one broken twig. I find it impossible for two bears to be fighting and banging into the fir even lightly and not disturb the moss or break the lower twigs and branches. I am 6’ 1” 210 pounds and in good shape. Reaching up as high as I could I was able to easily reach and grasp the fir at a much smaller circumference, but barely able to shake the fir. At the lower portion with an 8” diameter it was impossible to shake this fir. Because of the temperate rain forest conditions that we experience the forest floor was covered with moss, and rotted vegetation making it difficult to cut sign on an actual footprint. I did find about 12 feet from the fir tree a pad print (much like a large wide human print dressed in a moccasin). I was able to determine that it was possibly a right foot because of what appeared to be a distinctive big toe. It measured about 15 inches long and was a minimum of 4 inches wide at the heal, and 5_ to 6 inches wide at the top.

The heavy brush receded as I went further into a more open environment with numerous alder saplings. Here I found what I know to be a humanoid pad print. The toes curled into the forest floor with the big toe of the right foot breaking through the vegetation and leaving an obvious toe print in the wet dirt. The print was going from east to west in the direction of the fir tree. It measured 14_ inches and otherwise the same as the other print. The half-inch difference would account for the curled toe.

At 1430 I woke my neighbor from his nap (a logger) and took him to the location. He admitted to the big toe part of the print but was skeptical and said it was bear tracks. In searching the immediate area around the fir tree we found fur of which I feel belongs to a bobcat, lynx, or possible cougar pressed down into the forest floor.

10/18&19/04: Searched the web concerning Sasquatch sighting and sounds also read John A. Bindernagel’s book The Sasquatch. Possibly made a mistake in confiding with other local residents of my feelings of this being a Sasquatch. I have now told my neighbor and others that it was possibly a big bear in a fight with a lynx or cougar and that the prints were that of a large bow hunter in that it is bow season. With this I am no longer looked at like a nut.

10/20/04: After finding on the Internet voice sounds of a Sasquatch I had my two daughters and wife listen to the different recordings. They each agreed that what they heard sounded like the whooing sound recorded by Dave Clevlan in a 1972 encounter in Estacada, Oregon.

10/23/04: Xxxx after returning home from a football game at around 2130 the night before placed two large pumpkins weighing about 15 pounds apace next to the house under the eve. The next morning 10/23/04 when leaving for work she found one of the pumpkins had been moved and seemingly placed next to the rear tire of the van which was 25 feet from the pumpkins. Thinking that possibly one of the dogs or a raccoon had rolled it to the spot. There was no indention in the pumpkins indicating that it had been rolled across about 10 feet of gravel driveway. Xxxx’s statement: “I placed those two pumpkins next to the house came inside put the kids to bed locked the doors and nobody went out till I went to work the next morning.” Our drive way is _ of a mile long into a temperate forest. The dogs never alerted to anything during the night. Their doghouses are on the backside of the house. They would not necessarily alert to something coming out of the forest such as deer but would to anything coming down the driveway.

10/24/04: After returning from a trip to Seattle I went back into the area of the fir tree and cut sign again. I took the protective cover off the one distinct footprint and again confirmed to myself that it was humanoid in its nature. I took a direct bearing to the South towards the Olympics and drove over to Highway 112 in line with my bearing. Near this location I found an embankment coming up from a creek bed. On this embankment again I found what could have been a large pad print but because of time and weather unable to be certain. If it was it was an excellent location to view the traffic and cross the road to good cover on the other side providing forest cover. In cutting sign south of HWY 112 I found the terrain to be full of game trails and a straight shot up into the security of the Olympic Mountains.

10/25/04: At 0600 woke up to a noise that I was unable to identify. My daughter told me that again she heard the same loud whooing sound but this time of a higher pitch and coming from deeper in the forest behind the chicken coup. I have decided to make a report of the incident(s).

10/28/04: Neighbors dog dragged a deerskin out from the woods. The skin had been turned inside out as one would skin a rabbit. One front leg was still in the hide. Of interest was that the lower bone of the leg had been broke or twisted off like one would break a chicken bone. Several people saw this. Most believe that this was very possibly the work of poachers.

NOTE: Both Salt Creek and the Elwha River were experiencing a record large salmon run during this time period. The top of the estuary of the Salt Creek salmon run where the salmon bunch-up before running up-stream is in good cover and forested terrain to allow predators such as bear/sasquatch to traverse and feed without being detected. What investigation I did of the area provided no evidence of bear or sasquatch.

NOTE: During the 1970’s as a U.S. Border Patrol Agent assigned to the U.S. Mexican Border and an Immigration Inspector on the Canadian Border I had extensive training and experience in cutting sign or “tracking” illegal aliens and smugglers crossing our borders. Also I have spent a large portion of my spare time back-packing the wilderness parts of the Pacific Northwest. At no time have I ever run across any sign of a Sasquatch until now.

Does this guy want his name and location posted on a public internet board?

He didn't mind but I took it out....good point.

there are certain areas between P.A. and all the way down to illwaco , that seem certain to contain these beast. 30 miles between crescent lake and forks along the sol duc , mountains to the left ,strait on the right dense rain forest. Joyce to neah bay 50 miles nuthin but forest. forks to klalaloch , its where i had my sighting .daylight oct16th several miles east of 101.and yet if ya wanna get that feeling of being watched or ready for something to jump out of the brush , take the moclips cutoff road jus north of humptullips, usta be 30 miles of gravel road thick as s**t forest now is paved but still real remote ,100 of miles of sassy habitat. Sightings that ive read about .north river east of greyland ,copalis crossing ,ne of ocean shores .wynochee north. humptullips and the hoh river area they gotta be there.......... some day ..........

Thought I'd post a follow up. Here is a photo of the print, not well defined but an update anyway. He listed it as "Unknown"

Another,

one more,

Also take a look at this report....

BFRO

:bump: BFRO

Thanks Maheekat!
One about the Cabin is Freaky. :willies:

the areas they are talking about are hot beds of bf activity. humptulips,
quinault, queets indian res thats where I saw tracks years ago, and the queets
indians see them all the time back then. my queets buddy years ago seen the
varmints running across the road up there. I think the cabin stuff is them
trying to scare some one into moving out. I would not go if it was me,
I would play ted nugent, stranglehold, real loud all night. And set trip flares,
spotlights, keep feeding them.
But your right 67 the 101 corridor always has had sightings, just my 2.5 cents worth
cheers
vikingthor :doh:

That's the best idea yet....

vikingthor, if you don't quit beating your head all the time, you're gonna knock yourself out!

After stranglehold lead into Great white Buffalo , maybe we get a great white "BF'.Cant wait to get back to the sw side of the oly mtns . eyes wide open THOR i feel your frustration

"Kill 'em, and grill 'em" ???

Many parts are edible, probly taste like chicken.
vikingthor

Maybe you get Ted to come up in person. I'm sure he could track 'em down.
