A Retired Military Veteran Shares His Face-to-Face Sasquatch Encounter in Gifford Pinchot National Forest

A Retired Military Veteran Shares His Face-to-Face Sasquatch Encounter in Gifford Pinchot National Forest

Author: Jeremiah Byron March 20, 2026 Duration: 1:06:34
In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Danny, a retired military veteran who spent years exploring the rugged backcountry surrounding Carson, Washington, deep within the forests of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Drawn to the wilderness for hiking, fishing, and searching for historic mining sites, Danny recounts a trip in the summer of 2004 that led to events he never expected to witness.


While navigating remote logging roads and creeks in the mountains of Skamania County, Danny describes strange activity that unfolded over the course of a single trip into the forest. A quiet night in camp turned unsettling after something large made its presence known in the darkness. The following day brought another discovery along an abandoned road that suggested something massive had recently passed through the area.


Later that afternoon, deep along a secluded forest road, Danny found himself standing only a short distance away from something he initially believed was part of the landscape itself. As the moment unfolded, he realized he was looking at something entirely different.


Danny shares the details of that encounter, the environment where it happened, and what stood out most about the creature he observed. 


Join us as we explore Danny’s experience in the remote wilderness of Washington and the moment that left a lasting impression on how he views the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
