Silhouette awakens boy while camping near S. Fork Nooksack River
Account
The witness and a cousin were on an overnight fishing trip and sleeping at a riverside camp. In the middle of the night the witness awoke to hissing sounds and saw a broad-shouldered silhouetted figure about 20 feet away behind a fence for several minutes. The figure then turned and left silently, after which rapid clicking sounds like rocks striking were heard moving away across the river.
