An Orphan Baby Bigfoot Knocked on Her Door Every Night, Then The Amazing Happened
Three Knocks at Midnight

I never believed in Bigfoot.
Not until one knocked on my cabin door every single night for three months.
What began as the most terrifying experience of my life slowly became something I still struggle to put into words. This is my story, and I swear every word of it is true.
Five years ago, after a bitter divorce, I bought a small cabin deep in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. The property sat on forty acres of dense forest, miles from the nearest neighbor and even farther from the closest town. Most people thought I was crazy for moving there alone, but solitude was exactly what I needed.
The cabin was old but solid—built in the 1970s by a logger who wanted to disappear from civilization. I spent a year repairing it, reinforcing it, turning it into a real home. Life settled into a peaceful rhythm: remote work during the day, chopping wood and tending my garden in the afternoons, and falling asleep at night to owls calling through the trees.
Then, one night in late September, everything changed.
Just after midnight, three loud knocks shook my front door.
Not random taps. Not an animal brushing past.
Deliberate. Intentional.
I froze in bed, listening. No voices. No footsteps. Just silence.
Then it happened again—three harder knocks.
Heart pounding, I grabbed the baseball bat beside my bed and crept into the living room. Before I could call out, I heard something that made my blood run cold: a whimper.
Not human. Not animal.
Something in between—lonely, desperate.
A scratching sound dragged down the wooden door, followed by heavy breathing from something far larger than me. Then footsteps retreated from the porch, boards creaking under immense weight.
Through the window, under a full moon, I saw it.
A tall, dark figure moving upright at the edge of the trees.
At least seven feet tall.
Not a bear.
I didn’t sleep that night.
The next morning, I found deep claw marks in my door and heavy indentations in the porch boards. I tried to rationalize it. Bears. Fear. Imagination.
But the knocking came again the next night.
And the next.
Always at midnight.
Three knocks. Whimpering. Scratching. Then it would leave.
By the end of the first week, exhaustion replaced fear. Whatever this thing was, it wasn’t trying to break in. If it wanted inside, my door would’ve been splinters. It felt like it was asking.
Begging.
On the tenth night, I set up a trail camera.
What I saw shattered any doubt.
Standing on my porch was a juvenile Bigfoot.
Covered in reddish-brown fur, massive but not fully grown, with long arms and dark, intelligent eyes. Its face—almost human—was filled with sadness. It knocked gently, pressed its hand to the door, and made that broken, pleading sound.
It stayed longer that night. Waiting.
I realized then: it was alone.
The next evening, I left food on the porch. Apples. Vegetables. Sandwiches. A blanket.
When the Bigfoot arrived, it froze—then sniffed the air. It approached cautiously, devoured the food like something starving, then wrapped the blanket around itself and sat there whimpering softly.
Grateful.
From that night on, everything changed.
It stopped knocking. It came for food. I left the porch light on. Eventually, it let me be seen through the window. We watched each other. I waved.
One night, it waved back.
Weeks passed. The Bigfoot gained weight. Its fear faded. I talked to it softly through the glass. It listened. Learned. Trusted.
Then winter came.
One freezing night, it arrived limping—its leg badly wounded. Without thinking, I went outside with my first-aid kit. I cleaned and bandaged the wound while it trembled but didn’t pull away.
When I finished, it touched my shoulder.
Trust.
During a brutal snowstorm weeks later, it scratched frantically at my door. I opened it.
And pulled the Bigfoot inside.
It spent the night by my wood stove, wrapped in blankets, warming its hands like a human. From then on, it stayed. Nights by the fire. Days exploring the forest. I taught it words. It tried to speak. I read to it. Once, I woke to find it gently covering me with a blanket so I wouldn’t get cold.
It cared about me.
Then one evening in early spring, it grew restless.
It took my hand and led me into the forest.
There, in a clearing, stood its family—two massive adults and another juvenile. They approached carefully. One touched my shoulder in thanks.
They understood.
I hugged the young Bigfoot one last time. It cried. I cried.
Then it turned, joined its family, and disappeared into the trees.
The knocking never came again.
My cabin felt emptier after that—but my life fuller.
I still keep the gifts it brought me: stones, pinecones, an antler. Proof not for others—but for myself.
I never believed in Bigfoot.
Now I know better.
