Class B First-hand BFRO #75933

Hikers report possible sasquatch vocals + stalking in center of Harstine Island

28 May 2023 around 7am, bright sunny morning Shelton, Mason County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

Three people walking a gated logging road in the morning heard owl-like calls that seemed to come from ground level, move with them, and come from both sides of the trail. They also heard muffled voice-like sounds and a very loud, low-pitched growl from close in the forest. They noticed oddly broken and arranged branches near a marsh and clearing, felt unwelcome and watched, and left when the sounds stopped near the car.
