Horse trainer hears frightening vocalizations near Shelton

The witness was tending a burn pile in darkness on a rural property after caring for horses when three loud calls were heard from toward a creek and wooded hillside within about 100 yards. The sounds were described as similar to a howler monkey and crane mix with a low rumble that was felt more than heard, and the source could not be seen. Feeling watched, the witness left for the house, and horses were reported as restless afterward.

Possible daytime encounter by a family hiking near Lake Cushman

The witness hiked a loop trail near Lake Cushman with three family members in late morning. The group heard a mournful 8-10 second howl/groan and about 30 minutes later encountered a strong skunk- and ammonia-like odor near a creek bridge on both sides of the trail. They also noticed unusual uprooted mushrooms along the trail. No creature was seen.

Possible daytime sighting on Lake Cushman

While fishing from a small boat with a companion, the witness heard a large heavy animal running through shallow water near shore, after which birds fled, the area went silent, and a bad smell was noticed. Looking back into an inlet, the witness saw a very large two-legged figure standing in tree shadows and swaying side to side before leaving.
