Retired Wildlife Officer Films 7-Foot Bigfoot Circling Washington Cabin

A 75-year-old retired wildlife officer with 31 years of experience tracking large mammals in the Washington Cascades has come forward with what might be one of the most compelling firsthand accounts to surface in a while. The story was shared in a recent video posted to the YouTube channel BigLip, and it includes 11 minutes of actual footage that this woman claims she captured of a Sasquatch circling her cabin in the middle of the night. The witness, Edna Marsh, spent her career with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife doing large mammal tracking and habitat assessment in the Cascades Corridor. Her husband Gerald worked road maintenance for the Forest Service and knew the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest like the back of his hand. Together, they bought a cabin property in Chelan County, Washington 28 years ago, sitting at roughly 2,800 feet elevation, backing up against a dense slope of old Douglas fir and Engelmann spruce with a seasonal creek running along the back fence line. After Gerald passed away four years ago, Edna kept going up to the cabin every September alone, continuing the tradition they had built together. What makes this account stand out from so many others is Edna's professional background. She knows bear sign. She knows cougar kills. She knows the difference between a coyote den and a badger excavation from 30 feet away. And she knows what a site looks like when it simply does not fit any file she has. That kind of trained eye is exactly why researchers take accounts like this seriously. The video walks through three specific mistakes Edna believes she made in the months leading up to the September encounter, and each one is worth paying attention to. The first happened in spring of 2022 when she found a deliberately arranged pile against her back fence post. Deer-like bones with marrow cleanly extracted from both ends, strips of Douglas fir bark laid in an overlapping shingle pattern, and a dense mat of spruce boughs woven together into a platform shape pressed flat against the fence post base. Her field read at the time was packrat accumulation combined with old bear interaction, so she burned the whole pile in her burn barrel that afternoon and moved on. The second mistake came that summer when she noticed what she thought was groundhog activity under her detached woodshed. She called a contractor who sealed every gap along the base of the structure with expanding foam. Thorough job, $340, done before noon. But looking back, Edna now realizes the soil disturbance pattern, the gap measurements, the depth of disturbed soil, and the compaction pattern inside the crawl space were all wrong for a groundhog. Whatever had actually been using that space, possibly for years, had nowhere to go when winter came. The third mistake is the one that will stay with you. In late August, Edna heard a low wheezing sound near the tree line and followed it to the base of a large Douglas fir where she found something small. Juvenile scale, dark coloration, coarse hair that had not fully come in yet, patchy across the midsection but denser along the back and shoulders. The face, the hands, the feet, none of them matched any juvenile primate she had handled or documented in her decades of fieldwork. It was making that sound continuously and was not attempting to move away from her. The footage that followed in September is what really got people talking. At 2:00 in the morning, something started pulling fence posts out of the ground, ripping the woodshed door off its hinges, snapping a full-grown tree at the base, and throwing it across her path. Edna grabbed her phone and filmed for 11 minutes. A seven-foot Sasquatch circling her cabin, stopping at her window and looking straight into the camera. And according to Edna, she knew exactly why it was angry. This is the kind of account that reminds us why witness testimony from people with professional wildlife backgrounds carries so much weight in Sasquatch research. The discipline to write what you found, note what you could not determine, and move forward without jumping to conclusions is exactly what makes someone like Edna's story land differently. She is not a person who fills silence with stories or looks into dark woods and decides something is out there because the feeling is interesting. Her entire career trained her to resist that pull. If you want to hear the full story straight from Edna, including the details of what she believes she did to bring this Sasquatch to her door, the video is worth every minute of your time.
