Homeowner has possible encounter while in his yard near Ocean Shores

Something unseen in dense brush thrashed vegetation, produced a loud growl, and moved away with heavy pounding steps that shook the ground and broke branches. The witness retreated to a shed and then to the house for a shotgun, and later noted a strong musky odor at the residence.

Unusual sounds heard, sighting of fast upright animal

The witness and two relatives returned at night to a riverside berry area where relatives had felt watched the day before. After about ten minutes of quiet, they heard a loud bang like a shotgun, loud splashing near shore, and repeated very large rocks thrown into the water. After retreating uphill and pausing by the car, they heard a branch snap and rustling, and an unseen presence loudly mimicked the witness's whistle by vocalizing.
