Anonymous Witness Reports Multiple Bigfoot Encounters at Tahuya State Forest

So I just spent the last hour going down a rabbit hole on YouTube, and honestly, I had to share this one with you all immediately. There's a channel out there called Kitsap Squatch Watch that dropped an episode featuring some absolutely wild accounts from Mason and Kitsap counties in Washington, and one particular story has me sitting here with my jaw on the desk. Let me break down what makes this one so compelling. A community member who lives right on the edge of the Tahuya State Forest decided to do a little experiment. They put out a 40-pound bag of corn about a quarter mile from their house as bait, knowing the local deer and black bears would come investigate. Smart move, right? They set up a game camera at about six feet high specifically to keep bears from messing with it. Six feet. That's higher than most basketball hoops. And here's where things get interesting. Something opened that camera, turned it away from the corn pile, unscrewed the antenna, and then devoured the entire 40-pound bag. The witness was adamant this wasn't a bear, and honestly, when you look at the evidence, it's hard to argue. Bears don't typically open cases and unscrew antennas. They smash things. This sounds more like deliberate, calculated behavior from something that wanted privacy while it ate. The photos that came with this account are something else. The first one shows the witness's hand placed inside a footprint for scale, and that print is massive. We're talking about a footprint that makes a grown man's hand look tiny. The second image is a still from the game camera, and there's something on the left side of the frame that looks like hair or fur caught in the camera's view. The host points out that the surrounding moss isn't long enough to account for what we're seeing. Then there's the blurry figure. Covered in hair, standing at least six feet tall because that's where the camera was mounted. And in another black and white image, there appear to be eyes and a mouth on whatever was interacting with the camera. The host circled the face and marked the back of the head with an arrow, and honestly, when you study it, it's hard to unsee. Now, here's a detail that really got me thinking. The camera was strapped to a tree with a ridge rising behind it. For something to open that case, it had to stand on the downward side of the tree. The antenna was bent, and there's a stick laying between the camera and the trunk. The camera was knocked askew, facing away from the corn. It almost looks like whatever did this struggled with the case, used a stick to pry it open, bent the antenna in the process, and then finally got what it wanted. The video footage shows the witness climbing up the ridge, and you can see the path something took. There are large, deep circular indents in the ground that the witness thinks might be knee prints from something crawling. There are also impressions that match handprints, as if fingers dug into the earth as this being moved up and down the hillside. The timestamp reads 6:55 AM on August 31st, 2024, which is just after sunrise. Plenty of natural light. No excuse for blurry footage other than whatever was moving was fast. But wait, there's more. This same witness had a previous encounter in June of 2024 while camping with their child. They woke up to something walking around their tent. Bipedal. It shocked the tent when it hit the corner, and they could hear it sniffing. The witness was positive it wasn't a bear because of where they had placed the tent. They laid there with their rifle ready, and when they asked about other strange occurrences on the property, the witness described that eerie quiet when all the forest noises just stop. You know the one. That sudden silence that makes your skin crawl because every animal in the area just decided to be quiet at the same time. The host also shared some personal family accounts from the Tahuya area. There was a huge footprint found in a dry creek bed with distinct toe indentations, as if something jumped from one bank to the middle and then to the other side. And a separate incident where a group of people heard massive crashing and thrashing through the woods that went on for a long time. They fought through the ferns to investigate and found absolutely nothing. No broken branches, no prints, no evidence. Just silence. Other reports mentioned in the episode include an obvious ape call heard in the Olympic Mountains back in 2001, and distinct whoops heard near Lake Cushman that the witness knew weren't owls despite being an experienced outdoorsman. And then there's the part about the 911 calls from Port Orchard. A person reported something lurking around their property. First call: their dog was thrown over a tall fence and was dead before it hit the ground. Second call: they saw what did it and started panicking. The audio cuts off, but you can hear the fear in their voice. Honestly, this whole episode is worth your time. The host does a fantastic job of laying out the evidence without jumping to conclusions, which I really appreciate. They emphasize staying open-minded and respecting the witnesses, especially the hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who already know what every other animal in those woods looks and sounds like. There's a great point made about how insulting it is to tell experienced outdoorsmen they don't know what they saw. The discussion about dogs is also fascinating. The host makes a compelling case that Sasquatch avoid areas with dogs and firearms, which would explain why so many people who spend time in the woods never encounter them. Dogs are noisy and annoying, and an intelligent being would simply avoid them or deal with them in ways that wouldn't be gentle. That ties back to the Port Orchard 911 calls in a chilling way. If you're into detailed witness accounts with actual photographic evidence and game camera footage, this is one you don't want to skip. The host walks through each image carefully, pointing out details that support the witness's account while remaining analytical. It's the kind of content that makes you want to grab your own camera and head into the woods. Check it out for yourself. Trust me, you'll be thinking about that six-foot-tall blurry figure for days.
