Class B First-hand BFRO #3585

Hikers find nest-like structure in dense forest north of Monroe

August 2001 late morning Monroe, Snohomish County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions hiked in a dense second-growth gorge to look around the landowner's property. They found a concealed woven tunnel of undergrowth leading to a domed chamber and entered it but found no evidence or odor. Both felt suddenly spooked without seeing or hearing anything and left quickly, and bad weather prevented a return.
