Class B First-hand BFRO #1684

Husband and wife harassed by unseen creatures at their camp late at night

June 1976 between 11:00pm-12:00 Deming, Whatcom County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

A couple camped overnight by a stream about three miles from the road. After dark they smelled a strong stench and heard grunting, hooting and stomping that seemed to surround their tent, but saw nothing when checking with a flashlight. They ran back to the road in the dark and found scuffle marks in the dirt when they returned in the morning.
