This is one area I love. I have never seen one, but believe that they are out there. I have done research into sightings and you would not believe some of the junk people say. But there have been many sightings in the Grays Harbor and Ft. Lewis areas. Many more that are just plain untrue. Cat and Fiander lakes on the Fort have had several sightings by many military members during field training. Donkey creek road and the Nooch valley also are good areas for sightings. A retired cop I know saw one years ago by the 7200 road on the Nooch. Scared him so bad he never went back. The BFRO (bigfoot field research org) just did a big weekend search in the Nooch area. There was a couple off the Chehalis and Satsop near Keys Road. Anyone who hunts knows how thick the woods are out there. Questions I like asking sceptics are, How many bears or cougars have you seen in the woods? How about bear or cougar bones? I have seen in 14 years hunting and 24 years fishing out here two cougars and two bears. Another good questions is how many raccons or possums do you see in the deep woods? VERY few. Roads are different though. From all the species unknown dna test results collected from hair samples, SOMETHING is running around out there. We will most likely see proof, a body, within the next 25 years. I have had two encounters that were weird. First was back in 1992 above Eatonville elk hunting. I followed some fresh tracks up into the woods quite a ways and was sitting on a stump near trail crossing almost dark. I hear something coming through the brush, think "Alright, here comes the elk!" Next thing I know it gets very quite, no birds, no crickets. I ease off the safety and get ready to draw up the rifle when I can see what is coming. All of a sudden a high pitched screech darn nears makes me load my pants right behind me. First thought after landing from about a twenty foot jump straight up is cougar. Then realize it was not the right noise. Next thought was a loon. And not just me for getting scared so bad. Never see anything and head back to truck. Ten years later I am sitting on my computer listening to supposed bigfoot calls when the hair on my body stand straight up. There was a recording that was exactly what I heard. My poor lab woke from a dead sleep and came running into the kitchen growling at the computer and trying to shield me from it. Makes you wonder. Other was calls in the dead of night near Harts lake that were not anything I have head before.
