Unseen visitor unnerves 3 friends with repeated stick throwing near North Bend
Three friends were sitting in their parked truck at a pull-out at night after leaving an earlier site. They heard movement in the surrounding brush and something repeatedly struck the truck. Each time they got out they found the same small stick by or in the truck, and one witness saw it fly out of the bushes onto the hood. Frightened, they drove away.
Angler finds tracks, hears knocks and senses ominous presence east of North Bend
The witness was scouting a tributary creek of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie for a place to fish when he found large fresh tracks on both sides of the water. He then smelled a foul odor, felt watched, and heard repeated loud knocking sounds while returning to his car.

Hiker encounters intimidating beating sounds and heavy running footsteps
The witness parked to hike a closed-area trail and heard loud, fast drumming sounds from two directions that could be felt as percussion. After smelling a strong unfamiliar musky odor, the witness heard and felt heavy footsteps moving rapidly through brush ahead and then across a second trail as if cutting them off. The witness fled cross-country back to the vehicle without ever seeing the source and heard the drumming again near the vehicle.
Worse than something dead smell encountered by two fishermen
The witness and a companion fished in a restricted watershed and stayed late to leave under cover of darkness. While biking out on the service road they hit a strong rancid smell they could not source and both felt they were being watched in still, quiet conditions. They left without seeing anything and did not return.
Hiker hears roar north of Alpental Ski Resort at Snow Lake
The witness was camping overnight at an alpine lake with a dog when a loud high-pitched scream shifting to a low roar was heard for a couple minutes very close to camp. The dog became agitated with raised hackles and the witness was frightened. A young couple camped a few hundred yards away heard the same sound outside their site with snapping branches and pacing, and both parties left the lake the next morning.
Vocalizations heard by hikers
In summer around 1970, the witness and a friend were walking on an old dirt road through dense forest. About 50 feet ahead they heard a loud growling and screaming sound, saw trees shaking with sunlight breaking through the canopy, and felt the ground shake. They ran about half a mile out of the woods and the witness reported it to family that evening.
