BFRO #76546: Solo female backpacker reports sasquatch vocals and knocks at 3am at Timothy Lake, 18mi S of Mt. Hood

📍 Location

📝 Description

The weekend of Aug 12, 2023 I backpacked around Timothy lake in Oregon. I took it easy and did it over the course of a few days and 2 nights. I do not sleep great in a tent and wake up periodically when I roll over. Both nights I happened to wake up like this around 3am and both nights I heard this crazy howl/yell coming the other side of the lake. It sounded like it was coming from really far away. The calls repeated, almost identically, for what seemed like several minutes. It almost sounded like some sort of alarm or something, except that when it was nearing the end of the yelling each time, the howls stopped sounding so identical and began ending in a sort of gutteral yell. I could definitely hear vocal chords. I just lay in the tent in amazement! It had to have been insanely loud to be coming from such a distance. Then on the second night, immediately after the howl/yells ended, just to the south of me, and not terribly far away, I heard the resounding CRACK of a clear wood knock. I am still kicking myself every day for not trying to find my phone to record it. For some reason I felt like if I moved it would stop.Once I got home I looked up a map of Timothy to try and figure out what direction the calls were coming from. The weird thing is that both nights it sounded like it was coming from the opposite side of the lake from where I was. I was wondering, at the time, if it might just be some Bigfoot hunters out doing their thing, but it seems weird that they would call from such different and far flung vantage points each night.

Around 3am. The night was beautiful, warm, and clear. It was supposed to be the height of the Pleiades meteor shower & I had gone out around midnight to look for shooting stars.
