Class B First-hand BFRO #60878

Friends camping at Cedar Lake (10mi E of Wilkeson) hear possible BF vocals

August 2018 just past 4:00 a.m. Wilkeson, Pierce County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

Three campers were sleeping at a secluded mountain lake camp when they were awakened just after 4 a.m. by a very loud, high-pitched scream from very close by, followed by shorter vocalizations. They heard brush movement and other strange noises through the rest of the night, lit a small fire for reassurance, and left in the morning. The reporter states they had not believed in Bigfoot before but became convinced by the experience.
