A listener writes “Hey Wes, I’ve been listening to your show for about a year now and thought you might find this photo interesting. I’m not saying that the attached photo is for sure attributed to Sasquatch but think there is a chance. I just wanted to send it your way and see what you think given you have experience with The Olympic Project guys and Sasquatch in general. For all I know this could just be natural tree fall.
The photo was taken in the Olympic National Park in July of 2017. My wife and I had taken a friend out hiking up there and we were about half a mile past the falls going up the mountain. I saw it and showed my wife and kept going. Luckily she took the photo herself. If you do think that this is Sasquatch related I’d like to not give away the actual position to anyone in the public to keep people from going up there and hoaxing.
I personally have never seen a Sasquatch but have had some some strange things happen, again nothing definitive though. We currently live in Tennessee but are planning on moving up to WA next year and we were just doing pre visits when we took the photo.
Anyway, enough talk. Just thought I’d shoot this your way. Love the show man!”

which falls?

Zoom into the bottom of the tree in the foreground. I see two eyes and wide shoulders laying on the ground.

Hesistant to write (image may be an insert) is anyone referring to a possible subject up and to the right at about at a 3 o clock position from the 6 of the referenced ground subject?

Daniel, that’s creepy. I see it too.

Hi. I am glad you had a good time up here in the Northwest. Having hiked a lot in Washington and seen a lot of blowdowns and windfall similar to this, I would at a cursory glance assume it was simply a set of trees knocked over by the wind.
Having heard reports about the supernatural size of these things, I don’t doubt they are capable of picking up a tree that size; it just seems out of “character” that trees of that size would be used for their structures given past reports. There seems to be a consistency of them taking branches and forcefully and meaningfully inserting them in the ground in a pattern. I have seen images of some pretty elaborate arrangements with multiple sticks. To me , the pictured image above seems a little too inconsistent to think of it more than just a more patterned arrangement of windfall. Of course additional details would be helpful to make a case for something else, e.g., what did it look like at the base of these trees, were they simply knocked over from their original place or was they driven in the ground in some manner? Was this section of trees an anomaly in this stretch forest or was there several other signs of windfall along the way.
I see several dark shadows in the immediate brush. The shadow in the lower left is the most prominent, but nothing would really stand out to me if I wasn’t absolutely searching for something specific.
Again I think we need more details and a higher resolution image to be persuaded that this is anything more than natural windfall and typical light/shadows on the forest floor.

Wow! I must be looking at the wrong photo. I don’t see ANY of those figures mentioned.

With all due respect to everyone involved, I feel that this is tree fall and foliage with some wishful thinking and imagination mixed in for good measure. Seeing eyes and outlines in roadside photos is a slippery, slippery slope.

The quickest way to tell is to look at the base of the trees, if they are attached to the ground, natural. If not attached to the ground, are there stumps there from which they came? If not attached to the ground, and no stumps, they were moved there by some agency, and are constructed by someone or some thing. Then you can start thinking, maybe Bigfoot……were they cut off or snapped? Cut off would indicate a human took them down, snapped points away from that cause. Use logic and deductive reasoning to rule out any chance of natural occurrence before you think maybe it could be Bigfoot. I found an X structure, 50′ tall, made of 2 entire Lodge pole pines weighing thousands of pounds each, all branches knocked off and most of the bark, no stumps, no road for heavy equipment to get there. Not natural, not manmade, what does that leave? Most small structures may be something a human did for some reason, huge stuff with no discernable purpose and no machinery access, makes human causation very unlikely….
