Military Police Sergeant's Chilling Bigfoot Encounter at Fort Lewis in 1984

A thrilling military encounter with a possible Bigfoot has been reported in a YouTube video by the channel Creek Devil. The video, titled "BIGFOOT Spotted at FORT LEWIS?! Military Police Encounter," recounts a sergeant's experience at Fort Lewis, Washington, in May 1984. The witness, a military police officer, was investigating a reported disturbance in the tree line near the post stockade around 3:00 to 4:00 AM. Upon entering the forest, he heard strange cries and grewls, which he initially dismissed as animals. However, when his canine unit made contact with something, he heard five distinct pistol shots, followed by a deep, guttural growl building into an extremely high-pitched howling. As he continued to the rendezvous point, he caught a glimpse of a large black shape moving along the southwest edge of a meadow. Believing it to be a bear, he held his weapon at the ready. However, as the object came closer, he realized it was walking on two legs, resembling a humanoid creature covered in short, dark hair. The creature was approximately 7.5 to 8 feet tall, with massive arms and shoulders, and weighing around 500 lbs. The witness and the creature stared at each other for two to three minutes before it resumed its original direction and disappeared into the opposite tree line. Although the military police officer couldn't make out the facial features clearly, he is convinced that what he saw was not a bear or any known animal. The
