Strange encounter experienced by LEO's camped near Goldbond
A group of coworkers camped in a densely wooded valley in Jefferson National Forest.

Shortly before sunrise the next morning, several members of the group heard a brief speech-like sound from dense woods that shocked them. No visual sighting occurred and the witness left later that day.

They were too shocked and scared in the fading light to follow it.
Hairy creature seen watching a college party on Butt Mountain
The witness was camping near an abandoned fire tower with a companion when he noticed movement across a gap while other campers were below cliffs. He watched a dark hair-covered bipedal creature observe the noisy campers for several minutes, noting its build, face and eyes before it looked at him and left uphill. His companion only glimpsed something dark and thought it was a bear, and the witness did not tell her otherwise until the next day.
