Oregon Bigfoot #4308
Growl/yell heard near Mount St. Hellens
18 June 2008
early morning
Cougar, Skamania County, Washington
Account
The witnesses were climbing Mt St Helens at night near the tree line when they heard repeated growling from the woods. The sounds seemed to get closer and louder and appeared to come from at least two sources, one to the west and one to the east. The witnesses said the sounds did not match bears, coyotes, or other animals they knew, so they moved above the tree line to get away and did not look for physical evidence.
