Class B First-hand BFRO #17220

Loud roars and screams heard from an unknown animal near Stanwood

August 2000 dusk Stanwood, Snohomish County, Washington 1 witness

Account

On a warm summer evening at dusk in 2000, the witness was with two dogs at the edge of a forested ravine on the property. For about 10-15 minutes the witness heard something large moving through dense brush, branches snapping, and continuous loud roars and screams that continued despite yelling. The dogs stayed beside the witness and would not investigate, and the witness then went inside for the night.
