These stories are great, but i just want to shout, “DO NOT GO ALONE!”

Former professional climbing guide and outdoor program developer. I’ve been all over Alaska, BC, Yukon, Cascades, Rockies, etc. I’ve been all through Olympic Park over the years and I have experienced screams at night that echoed down valleys (rock concert loud), a deep growl with no identifiable source, and a haunting experience at the Upper Duckabush. I heard voices and footsteps and twice got out of my tent to welcome people. No one!  Then fight or flight kicked in and I packed up and blasted up to Home Sweet Home in the dark. Felt at peace there.
I’m not one to embellish or be creeped out. But I can identify with many of these surreal experiences described by others. In thousands of nights in remote locations I can only attest to these experiences in Olympic National Park and one in the Wind River Range, WY.

Despite Sasquatch, I recommend the Olympic Rain Forest to anyone who has never been there. It's beautiful❤

When I was 14 my Aunt and Uncle took me there.  While they slept I snuck out into the night to do some exploring.  Thank God I stayed safe!

That Sasquatch definitely helped her to be found. My first thought was it was blocking the trail to get her to go the other way, until you mentioned the trail left by the stick. What an amazing story!

I did a day hike with a friend once. She took off in some direction without me, and suddenly I had no clue where she was. I really gave her a piece of my mind about safety. I didn't know about Sasquatch back then, but I sensed the dangers she could have fallen to. We camped in her van in the forest that night; it was pitch dark and so quiet. Humans are more of a concern to me out in the woods than encountering a Sasquatch, tbh.

She asked them politely for help & they helped her! Beautiful story if true!!
-BIGFACTS!

Staying on the trail is common sense and the Bigfoot helped her out.

Thanks Chris, and thanks for sharing Anna. The People Of The Forest are an enigma. There are documented occasions where they have acted to help people in trouble in their environment. 🕊️💝

We all need to hear more stories on how Bigfoot can be of help to people as they are out in the wilderness.   Thanks for your stories  scarry or not 😮

They dragged that stick intentionally!They were helping!Sometimes I think they must kind.❤

I live near the Hoh. Grew up here. Years back, and friend and i spent the night sleeping on a blanket, under the stars, feet from the river. Beautiful night.  After many years here, ive come to take the beauty for granted. Everyday scenery. Its nice to get a reminder just to realize how spectacular it really is.

I grew up there, a postage stamp town called 'Humptulips' on that peninsula- down the road from the Rain forest (Ho). We knew not to go in alone. You got people who lived there their whole lives, go in to do something they done a thousand times, and are never seen again- at all. I know young people, especially from cities, like to think of some guardian of the forest thang..but many of the Natives there will tell you it's a cannibal- being part human.   It's not safe out there.
You could go in a thousand times and be fine. But always be prepared for the 1,001st time.

Always carry a storm whistle when you go hiking...the sound they make carries far greater distance  than just shouting...easier for people to find you.

Thank you Chris for the great story.  Washington State is a hot spot for Bigfoot.  I love stories told from there.

Anna was pretty lucky that the Rangers found her. Amazing that the Bigfoot had a large stick and left a dragging print. Such a scary story. 😮

Wow, very creepy and scary, Ladies - plz don't ever go camping on your own, especially if it's that time of the month.

Grab a beer!
Base Camp is here!

In 2007, I took my 16 year old son and my 15 year old nephew on an adventure  from our home in Henderson, NV to the Olympic Peninsula. We took a ferry to Victoria, stayed at an oyster farm, dug calm on Hood Canal ( I think lol) anyway, one adventure was into Hoh Rainforest. We were entirely alone. We stopped at the visitor center, checked out the river etc. We saw a trailhead and off we went. It was cold and raining.  Every minute or 2 we'd hop over running water, little streams. The boys, for the first time ever, we're out walking me because they had grown and had long strides. I'm 5'3". The boys were approaching 6 foot tall. As we went, and I scurried to keep up, there was a sign warning of black bears and telling best methods to avoid an encounter and what to do if you see one. We kept going, as I'm not one to give in and the kids were gung-ho and loving the rainforest. Then there was a sign that told about lions in the area, and how to protect yourself. I stopped to read it and had to really move out to catch up. We had done similar hikes in many places, including in Yellowstone, with no fear, but in the Hoh Rainforest, I had a bad case of the creeps. I didn't say anything about it though. I kept following the boys. Then, my son looked back over his shoulder and grinned a mischievous grin. " Hurry up Mom! This is our first trip, where you are the prey." It only took a few more minutes for me to start listening to my inner voice. I suggested we return to the car, and relief crossed their faces.  They'd never admit it, but I'm certain that the boys were feeling uncomfortable too. I believe we walked even faster, back to the car.

Thank you Chris and to the sender ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I've been in the woods before and been frozen in fear because something on two feet was walking so hard it was shaking the ground
