Sounds heard at Skookum Lake
Account
The witness camped with three companions near Skookum Lake after hiking Thunder Mountain. During the night the witness awoke to sounds described as large rocks tumbling down a ridge, then later to heavy, widely spaced footsteps moving through camp. The companions reportedly slept through the noises and no footprints were found the next day. The witness later associated the sounds with Sasquatch after reading similar accounts.
