Rock throwing in Washington (2014)

Years later the witness and his father fished where the river had shifted, leaving dry beds and a huge log jam against a cliff. A large rock struck the jam near the witness, then he glimpsed a black-haired human-like backside moving behind bushes on top. He hid his fear, led his father out, and disclosed what he saw a year later.

Footsteps in Washington (2012)

Two brothers parked for a late-night talk on a forest road when heavy footsteps surrounded the car on several sides and powerful growls approached the rear. After repositioning the car in moonlight they saw a dark shape shifting in a tree, heard heavy breathing, and watched a very tall muscular dark creature cross the road and peer from behind a stump. A second slender gray creature leapt across the road, the large one dropped to all fours and left, and the brothers later realized hours had passed.
