Campers describe sounds, rock throwing and brief sighting at dark near Wind River Work Center outside Carson

Four campers spending the night near a creek reported hearing aggressive vocalizations described as a mix of whoops and screams, then seeing the silhouette of a very tall figure with a wide torso about fifteen feet away. They retreated to their truck before setting up camp, and later that night heard a deep whistle, crunching footsteps, pebbles hitting tents, and a branch breaking, along with a foul odor while a small dog growled. By morning a chair was found knocked over, but no tracks were located on the rocky ground.

Object throwing in Washington (2019)

The witness and his partner and young child drove to a remote area near a lake to hunt mushrooms and walked about a mile and a half to a marshy pond. While picking, a large log splashed down beside them, followed later by a large rock thrown from the tree line that splattered mud. They saw young trees shaking as something moved rapidly along the tree line without hearing vocalizations, then left and found a recently killed elk with torn hide and broken legs before hiking out.

Couple camping at a lake near Greenwater experience possible screams

The witness and a companion were camping at an isolated lake over a long weekend. On Saturday morning they began hearing very loud guttural scream-growls that seemed to warn them away from certain areas, including the path to the lake, and the sounds continued into Sunday. Overnight they heard cooking gear clanging and a heavy thump like logs dumped beside their trailer, but in the morning the gear was largely in place and no logs were found, and the companion also reported a strong putrid smell.

Daylight encounter with firefighter near Skykomish

The witness, part of a two-person wildland fire crew, was descending a steep brushy slope after working a fire when a dropped shovel led him to a rocky ledge with a small cave. He noticed a foul odor at the cave entrance, then saw two rocks thrown from uphill that he concluded the companion could not have thrown. Looking uphill, he watched a dark hairy upright figure moving away through brush for a few seconds before it became still and silent, after which both men left and reported the incident.

Family hunting near Wahkiacus is stalked by a large animal

During a deer-hunting drive in foggy woods, the witness and his father found large bipedal tracks over their tire marks and concluded a bear could not have made them. As they circled back, an unseen animal tracked them, producing a strong foul odor and a high-pitched squeal before thrashing off toward the mother waiting at the truck. They later found uprooted small trees, additional tracks in camp, hair on fencing, and a woody debris structure, and heard screaming and a howl that prompted a relative to leave camp.

1977 Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington Class B #929

Camper experiences odd odors and sounds, feels presence

The witness was camping with family near the Elwah River and was sitting outside after others went to sleep when a rock struck the tent twice. The family moved to their car, and the witness later stood outside in darkness sensing a very tall man-like presence nearby, hearing breathing, footsteps and snapping twigs and smelling a musky foul odor. After headlights showed nothing, the odor and sense of unease lifted and the family returned to the tent for the night before breaking camp the next day.

Growl near Leavenworth, Washington

A late-season hunter camping alone on a ridge was pinned down when something jumped onto his tent in the middle of the night. The weight broke two ribs against the gun he held on his chest. The thing growled, smelled foul, and held him like a wrestler rather than clawing.
