Yakima County Washington (Class B) BFRO

2018

My friend and I rode snowmobiles about 8 miles into a wilderness area. No one had been in the are for at least 2 days because previous tracks were covered by Saturdays storm. We turned off the main road and onto a side road and rode a few hundred feet before we stopped at a bridge crossing a stream. As soon as we took off our helmets we heard a loud howl/moan sound that lasted 8-10 seconds. We looked at each other in shock. Another howl followed about 8 seconds behind it and then we head a loud bang on a tree in the opposite direction. It was like a super loud woodpecker just pecked once. A few seconds after we heard a large tree branch break in the direction of the howl and then heard a third howl. Two more loud wood pecker sounds then followed with about 5 seconds in between. The scream seemed like it was from a mile away, but in the dense trees it was likely much closer. The wood noises and loud break sounded like they were within 50 yards or so. Then it was silent for about 5 minutes and we started to get ready to leave and the howls started again, but seemed like they were twice as far away. After about 6 more howls with 5 seconds or so in between, we decided to leave the area. Neither of us have ever heard anything like it. It seemed like it had an amplifier and we were the only people within about a 8 mile radius. I listened to the "Ohio howl" and it was close but longer and more fluctuation in some of the moans.

I was the one that filed the report. The one yelling at us sounded like a deep female ghostly moan with unhuman fluctuations in the scream. It went on for minutes. The tree branch that broke had to be huge. It was really loud, like when an elk jumps off a ridge onto a rotten log. There were at least 3 and I think there was 4 or more since the one yelling at us in the beginning seamed way further away when it started back up again. It was non stop when it started again. Even when we started the snowmobiles, it was still yelling at us. It felt like it was just long distance communicating at first and when it started again from further away, it felt eerie and we were wanting to get out of there. We were resting on a bridge looking over a river. and just happened to stop right in between a group of something knocking here, breaking a huge branch there and yelling from another spot, and minutes later, yelling from a much further location. I have hunted just about everything in Washington and watch a lot of animal shows. This experience was just bizarre and with all th bigfoot shows out there, I began to think that's what it was and decided to report it.
