Class B First-hand BFRO #3024

Campers hear vocalizations and find possible prints near Skookum Meadow

8 August 2001 Friday night and sunny day Stabler, Skamania County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

Three coworkers camped at Tillicum campsite and hiked toward Skookum Meadow looking for signs. On the first night while awake in the tent they heard coyote-like sounds, a long moan and loud wail, and a guttural growl. The next day on a deer trail off Trail 21 they noticed several vague human-like footprints in firm ground but took no casts or photos. Weeks later the reporter felt the night sounds matched supposed vocalizations heard on a television special.
