Woman Meets 2 Talking Bigfoot Babies, Then Something Incredible Happens – Sasquatch Encounter Story
Between Two Worlds
Chapter One: The Frosted Doorstep
You know that feeling when something happens that completely changes how you see the world? When reality shifts and you realize everything you thought you knew was just the surface? That happened to me three years ago at my grandfather’s old hunting cabin in northern Washington State. I woke up to scratching sounds at my door one autumn morning, and what I found on the other side changed everything I believed about what lives in these mountains.

Two small creatures sat huddled on my doorstep, trembling in the cold dawn, covered in frost and looking up at me with huge, dark eyes that held more intelligence than seemed possible. I knew right then that nothing would ever be the same.
What makes the story even stranger is that these creatures actually learned to speak. Not just mimicking sounds, but truly communicating with me in ways I never expected were possible. By the end of that first incredible week, I became part of something I still don’t fully understand—something that exists in the space between human civilization and the wild places we’ve pushed to the edges of the map.
I inherited my grandfather’s cabin when he passed away three years ago. He was an old hunter who built the place back in the seventies, tucked away in dense forest where hardly anyone ever goes. He valued solitude above almost everything else, and he taught me to love the woods when I was a kid, taking me on long hikes and teaching me to identify animal tracks and bird calls. When he left me the cabin in his will, it felt like he was giving me a piece of himself—a refuge from the noise and chaos of modern life.
The property sits at the end of a rough logging road that most people wouldn’t attempt without four-wheel drive. Even with the right vehicle, it’s a gamble every time, winding up the mountainside with steep drop-offs and sections that wash out every spring. My nearest neighbor is about eight miles away through thick woods, and they only use their place a few weeks out of the year. It’s the kind of isolated spot where you can go weeks without seeing another person, where the only sounds at night are wind in the trees and the occasional call of an owl or coyote.
I’m a freelance graphic designer, which means I can work from anywhere with decent internet. My clients are scattered across the country, and we communicate mostly by email and video calls. The cabin has solar panels my grandfather installed in his later years, a propane stove that works perfectly, and a wood-burning fireplace for the coldest nights. A few years back, I had satellite internet put in, which meant I could actually live and work remotely without any issues. I had everything I needed—running water from a well, electricity from the sun, heat from the fireplace, and enough bandwidth to send files to clients and attend virtual meetings.
I started spending about half my time out there, especially during spring and fall when the weather was perfect. The solitude never bothered me. If anything, I craved it after too much time in the city. There’s something about being alone in the woods that clears your head, makes you realize how much of what we worry about in daily life doesn’t really matter. Out there, your concerns narrow down to simple things: staying warm, staying fed, enjoying the moment.
That particular October, I planned to stay for three weeks. I had a big project deadline coming up and wanted to focus without the usual city distractions. No traffic noise, no neighbors playing loud music, no constant buzzing of my phone with messages that could wait. Just me, my laptop, and the quiet of the forest.
Chapter Two: The Quiet Before
Monday through Wednesday were completely normal—perfect, actually. I worked during the day, sitting at the small desk by the window where I could look out at the trees while I waited for files to upload or clients to respond to emails. I took walks in the evening when the light turned golden and the forest seemed to glow. I made simple dinners and enjoyed the peace. The forest was alive with its usual sounds: birds calling back and forth, deer moving through the undergrowth, their hooves crunching on fallen leaves, the wind rustling through the trees, squirrels chattering at each other over territorial disputes.
At night, I’d sit by the fire with a book or work on my laptop until I got tired, then fall asleep to the sound of wind in the pines. It was exactly what I’d hoped for, exactly what I needed. Those first few days, I barely thought about the city at all, barely checked my personal social media. I just existed in the moment.
Thursday evening, something changed. I went for my usual walk before dinner and noticed how quiet everything had become. The birds weren’t singing like they normally did at that time of day. The forest felt different, heavier, like the air pressure had changed. I’ve spent enough time in the woods to know when something’s off—and something was definitely off. Animals go quiet like that when there’s a predator around. But usually, you can sense the source of the tension. This felt more general, like the whole forest was holding its breath.
I told myself I was imagining things, but I couldn’t shake a slight uneasiness as I headed back to the cabin. I locked the door when I got inside, checked the windows, pulled the curtains closed, even though there was no one around to see in. Made myself dinner, but couldn’t quite enjoy it. Kept pausing to listen. For what, I didn’t know.
That night, I tried to focus on my project, but I kept looking out the windows into the darkness. Everything seemed fine—just the usual night sounds creeping back in. Eventually, I convinced myself I was being silly and went to bed around eleven. I fell asleep easily enough, exhausted from a long day of work. But some part of my mind stayed alert, listening.
Chapter Three: Guests in the Morning
Friday morning, right around dawn, I jolted awake. Strange sounds were coming from right outside my front door—scratching, thumping, soft whimpering noises that made my heart start pounding. My first thought was that a bear was trying to get in. We had them in the area. I lay in bed, frozen, listening hard. The scratching continued, not aggressive exactly, more exploratory, like whatever was out there was trying to figure out how the door worked. The whimpering was softer, almost crying, which was strange because bears don’t really make sounds like that.
Then everything went quiet. Complete silence. I waited, barely breathing, listening so hard my ears hurt. After about ten minutes, curiosity started to override my fear. Whatever had been out there had stopped. Maybe it had wandered off. I had to know what it was. Had to see if it had damaged anything.
I got out of bed as quietly as possible, grabbed the heavy flashlight I kept on my nightstand, and approached the door. I could hear breathing on the other side—definitely something alive. Multiple somethings, actually. My hand shook as I reached for the deadbolt. Part of me screamed not to open it, but whatever was happening, I was on my own.
I unlocked the deadbolt carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible. The breathing on the other side paused. I cracked the door open just an inch, flashlight ready in my other hand. The pre-dawn light was dim and gray. At first, I couldn’t see anything unusual on the porch. Then I looked down and my brain just stopped working.
Two small creatures sat huddled together right at my doorstep. They were maybe two and a half feet tall, sitting upright like small children, but they definitely weren’t children. They were covered entirely in fur. One was dark brown, almost black; the other was reddish brown. They looked up at me with huge dark eyes that caught the light from my flashlight and reflected it back. My brain tried to process what I was seeing. Baby bears? But the faces were all wrong—too flat, too humanlike. Their arms were long and wrapped around each other in what looked like a hug, trembling so hard I could see it even from several feet away.
Despite everything logical screaming at me to shut the door and lock it, I couldn’t. These were babies in distress. The temperature had dropped to near freezing overnight. Something in their eyes got to me—intelligence, real intelligence. They were scared, but they’d come to my door for a reason. They needed help. And somehow, they knew that this was where they might find it.
I made a decision that probably wasn’t smart. I stepped back and opened the door wider, gesturing for them to come in, speaking softly, telling them it was okay. They looked at each other, communicating silently. The darker one tilted its head toward the door; the lighter one hesitated, looking scared. The darker one made a soft sound, almost reassuring. After a long moment, they slowly crawled forward on their hands and feet, moving cautiously across the threshold.
Chapter Four: Learning to Speak
I closed the door behind them and they stayed near it, pressed against each other, looking around at everything with wide eyes, taking in the cabin, the furniture, the dying embers in the fireplace. I moved slowly, trying not to startle them. First thing was to get them warm. I built up the fire, brought blankets from my bedroom and set them on the floor near the fireplace. They touched the blankets tentatively, then wrapped themselves up, still huddling together. The darker one pulled the blanket around both of them, making sure its companion was covered, too.
As the cabin warmed up and more light came through the windows, I could see them better. They were remarkably similar in appearance, but clearly distinct individuals. The darker one seemed slightly larger and more alert, the lighter one thinner and weaker, leaning against its companion for comfort. Both had hands that looked eerily human under the fur—five fingers with small nails, not claws. Their faces showed expressions I could almost read: curiosity, confusion, relief.
After about half an hour, I realized they might be hungry. I made oatmeal with honey and heated some canned peaches. The sweet smell filled the cabin, and both creatures lifted their heads, nostrils flaring. I set the bowls on the floor near them. They sniffed the food suspiciously at first, then watched me eat from my own bowl. The darker one reached out, touched the bowl, dipped a finger in the oatmeal, tasted it, then made an excited sound to its companion. Both started eating with their hands, scooping the food up and shoving it in their mouths, not caring about the mess, just hungry and finally able to eat.
After eating, they seemed more comfortable. They started looking around the cabin with more interest than fear, touching things cautiously, exploring their new environment. They found my bookshelf, stood in front of it, looking at all the books like they’d never seen anything like it before. The darker one pulled down a children’s picture book, sat down on the floor with it, its companion beside it. They looked through the book together, pointing at pictures, making sounds to each other.
I sat down on the floor near them, pointed to a picture of an apple, and said the word clearly. Apple. The darker one looked up at me, then back at the picture, furrowed its brow, and tried to say the word. Not quite right, but close. It was trying to speak. The creature looked pleased with itself when I reacted with surprise, pointed to another picture expectantly, wanting to learn more.
We spent the next hour going through that picture book page by page—me pointing and naming things, them repeating the words back to me. Sometimes it took several tries, sometimes they got it almost perfectly the first time. They learned fast, frighteningly fast. Within an hour, they knew about twenty words, simple concrete things. They would practice with each other, sometimes correcting each other’s pronunciation. The darker one was better at making the sounds; the lighter one was better at remembering what each word meant. They worked as a team, teaching and helping each other.
By lunchtime, they followed me around the cabin, sat near me when I sat down. The lighter one especially sought comfort from my presence, leaning against my leg. The darker one was more independent, but still attentive, still watching everything I did and learning from it. I found myself talking to them constantly, explaining what I was doing as I moved around the cabin. Look, I’m making lunch. This is bread. This is cheese. They listened intently, learning new words with each explanation.
Chapter Five: Family, Secrets, and Spring
That afternoon, I took them outside. They were nervous at first, but once in the sunshine, they came alive in a way they hadn’t inside—running around the clearing, climbing trees with incredible agility, playing tag, laughing and calling to each other using the words they’d learned. I sat on the porch steps watching them play, smiling despite the strangeness of the situation. They were so clearly just kids, just children playing, regardless of the fur or their ability to scale a tree in seconds.
That night, heavy footsteps circled the cabin—much heavier than the babies. The two creatures pressed against each other, trembling. The darker one whispered a word in their language: Mother. My blood ran cold. Something massive was outside looking for these babies. The footsteps moved slowly, methodically, circling the cabin, stopping at each window. At the door, something pushed—not hard, just testing. After what felt like an eternity, the footsteps retreated into the forest.
The next morning, I took them into the woods. We found a tree with large scratch marks high up on the trunk, a pile of rocks stacked at its base. The babies became quiet, the darker one touching the scratch marks and saying a word that meant home. They were conflicted, torn between safety with me and the pull of their family. I knelt down, told them their mother loved them, that she was looking for them. The darker one asked in rough English if I was their mother. I shook my head, said I was their friend.
Eventually, the babies called out for their mother. Minutes later, a deep call echoed through the trees, and soon, she emerged—an enormous figure, at least seven and a half feet tall, massive and wild, but with eyes full of ancient wisdom. The babies clung to me, torn between fear and longing. The mother approached, her eyes never leaving mine, assessing me, reading me. Then, in broken English, she said, “Thank you.” She told me her babies were lost, that there had been a storm. She checked them over, found the lighter one’s injured arm, and looked at me with concern. I explained simply: hurt, not broken. She seemed satisfied.
Then she did something I never expected—offered me the lighter baby, asking for help. She wanted me to save her sick child. I promised I would try. That night, I researched animal heart conditions, called a friend for advice, drove to a veterinary clinic and, with a desperate story, got the medication I needed.
I met them in the clearing each evening for the next week, bringing medicine, food, and books. The lighter baby improved, gaining strength and energy. The darker one learned words at an astonishing pace. The mother relaxed around me, asked questions about humans and cities. She told me about the dangers of hunting season, that they would soon retreat deeper into the mountains.
Before they left, we exchanged gifts—photos I would never show another soul, a carved figure of me, a feather, a heart-shaped stone. I promised to return in the spring.
When the roads cleared, I came back. For two weeks, I left food in the clearing, hoping. Then one morning, I woke to familiar sounds on my porch. There they were, the mother and both babies, grown bigger and stronger, the lighter one healthy and energetic. They greeted me with a name they’d created for me in their language—friend who helps.
Three years have passed. I visit the cabin often, spend months there when I can. The babies are juveniles now, nearly four feet tall, smart as any human child their age. We communicate in a hybrid language, half theirs, half mine. The mother trusts me completely, has shown me their hidden valley, their caves, their lives.
I keep their secret, fiercely—because some truths are more important than proof, some relationships more precious than validation. I know what I found on my doorstep that cold October morning: two small, frightened creatures who changed everything I thought I knew about the world. Who taught me that friendship transcends species, that family can form in the most unexpected ways, and that in the quiet places at the edge of the map, there are still wonders waiting for those who approach with compassion instead of fear.
