Couple awakened by very loud howls near Maple Valley

Account

The witness and a companion were sleeping at home with a bedroom window open when they were awakened around 1:30 a.m. by extremely loud howls coming from outside. They heard four howls that echoed through the area with pauses between them. They later concluded the sounds were similar to a previously reported Bigfoot vocalization and possibly made by such a creature.
