August 2012 evening through about 2:30 a.m. 1st Incident Darrington WA 2nd Incident Fort Lewis, Snohomish County, Washington 4 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion camped beside a river and heard loud yelling that dropped into a groan or growl, followed hours later by closer calls, heavy footfalls, rustling on a hillside, and a large splash in the river. They could see nothing by flashlight from their vehicle. Shortly after, occupants of a passing car stopped and said a massive hairy figure had just run across the road in front of them.
