Title: Northeast Washington resident sees a bigfoot looking in the window
Report Number: 1113 (Class A - Highest credibility: clear, close-range sighting with no ambiguity)
Submitted: Friday, January 5, 2001
Year of Incident: 1981
Season: Summer (late June/early July, before the 4th of July)
State: Washington
County: Stevens County
Nearest Town: Colville, Washington
Nearest Road: Onion Creek Road
Location Details: Area off Onion Creek Road, about 45 minutes from Colville. Property near Colville National Forest and Colville Indian Reservation.
Time and Conditions: Approximately 2:30 a.m. Clear night with partial moon.
Witness Narrative (Observed):
In late June/early July (before the 4th) of 1981, I was staying at a friend's home in the Colville, Washington area. I was sleeping on the floor near the window in the downstairs bedroom. The windows are tall and narrow, grouped three below and three above with a heavy wood beam dividing them. The second set of windows are 7-8 feet from the outside ground.
I awoke to the sound of a loud grumbling/humming type noise, hard to describe and unlike anything I had ever heard before. I looked up and saw something looking in the upper window. I saw a shoulder and arm and side of hand as if someone were cupping it to look in. I saw only an outline, but the head was large with wide neck and broad shoulders, arm looked very muscular.
I was terrified, trying to wake my friend who was in a nearby bed. A .30-06 was located on the other side of the room where she could reach it, but I could not and I was too scared to go for it. My friend did not fully wake and see this incident, but mumbled something about it possibly being a drunk neighbor who sometimes came around. My friend rolled over and went back to sleep. I had met this neighbor previously and he was about 5'11" and very skinny—this was not the neighbor.
In order to see into this window, the "thing" would have to be very tall, at least seven feet tall, and there is no object outside for it to stand on. The "thing" looked in for about a minute (guessing at the time—I was very frightened), then left. I heard it walking outside around the side of the house. I heard it walk into the woods and resume making the deep singsong type humming sound.
Follow-Up the Next Morning:
When my husband and friend's husband returned from their nightshift at work the next morning, we looked for prints or any indentations and found nothing, as the dirt was packed hard.
Environment:
Heavily treed with Ponderosa Pine, Fir, and dense underbrush. The home has a visible yard, flower garden, and driveway. Nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away.
Also Noticed (Related Incident):
In October of 1984 or 1985, we now owned a cabin about a quarter mile from the home mentioned above. One evening between 11:30 p.m. and midnight, I let our puppy out and was standing on the porch. I heard a scream—not a cat, not any animal I have heard before. The dog freaked out and ran into the house and would not go back out. I heard two or three screams altogether. It did not seem close, but I went back into the house.
Other Witnesses:
The friend was present but half-asleep and did not see the creature. The puppy reacted in the later incident.
Other Reports/Stories:
Heard various second-hand stories about sightings in the area, but nothing specific.
Investigator Comments:
None listed in the report (common for older submissions).
This Class A report stands out for its close proximity (window peeking), unusual vocalization (grumbling/humming), and the creature's estimated height based on window position. The area fits typical Sasquatch habitat: remote, forested, near national forest lands. No physical evidence was found, but the witness's fear and details contributed to its high classification.
