A listener writes “In March of 2016 One morning I decided to going fishing for steelhead on the Vedder river I left my house super early probably around 5:00 am it was still dark out. I decided to fish one of my spots that was on the upper portion of the river. I got to my spot right when the sun was coming up.

When I parked my car I got out and started putting on my waders and gear. While I was doing that I noticed a trail that was kinda hidden across the road that looked like it went kinda deep into the woods so I thought that looked like a interesting trail. Seeing that literally no one was around I thought let’s try some wood knocks lol now I just wanna make this clear I’m not a bigfooter I don’t go looking for it or anything like that. I’ve read some story’s and watched some videos of yours but that’s about it. I was always interested in it though because I’ve fished the Vedder river my whole life and spent so much time up here I know the history behind it. So after I put my waders on I leave my fishing rod in the car for now lock my car doors and walk across the road into this trail.

This trail was really dense with trees it was kinda wet out from raining the night before. So I walk into to this trail just far enough till I get to this corner in the trail and I stop there because you can see straight down the trail a couple hundred feet and there’s this huge tree right at the corner I thought this would be good spot for knocks. So I stand there at first looking around listening not hearing anything at all not seeing anything so I pick up a solid stick and do three wood knocks on the tree. Boom, boom, boom after I do the first set of wood knocks I look around and listen and I hear and see nothing which is really what I’m expecting.

So I do a second set boom, boom, boom. Same thing I look around and listen and I hear and see nothing just everything is normal. So I say to myself okay let’s do one more set . Boom, boom, boom I look around listen nothing again as expected so I toss the stick and I say to myself let’s walk deeper into the trail now I swear on my life when I took my third step to go deeper into the trail something huge I don’t know what it was sounded like it bluff charged me and made a huge slamming sound on the ground. It literally sounded like a elephant came at me and just stopped. When this happen something happen to my body it was like I was frozen I couldnt move or anything I wouldn’t to cry but I couldn’t. I snapped out of it and just thought for a second maybe it’s someone so I said hello is someone there and I didn’t hear a single thing just complete silence and I got so scared for my life cause it felt like something was right there staring at me. I ran out of the woods like someone was gonna kill me I jumped into my car and just drove away thinking of what just happen. I couldn’t see anything but that sound it made I swear I’ve never heard anything like it. It sound like the forest just exploded 50 feet from me then just stopped like almost it was saying you can’t come down here. It was very scary and amazing all at the same time I just couldn’t believe what just happen. I knew if I told any of my friends or family they’d just laugh and say it was a deer or bear but I swear I’ve ran into some many bear deer elk moose coyote and I’ve never heard a animal make that type of sound in the woods. It was unbelievable but it truly happen.”
