Scream

The witness, a college volunteer helping with a search-and-rescue in heavy snow, hiked with two companions to a small work cabin atop Mount Macon and spent the night there. During the night something screamed and howled outside and repeatedly struck the heavy door and walls, terrifying the three men inside. By morning it was gone, leaving large indistinct impressions in the snow leading up to the cabin, after which the group hiked out.

Scream in Washington

The guest was part of a small team doing nighttime map-and-compass navigation over several nights with no weapons. Team members repeatedly felt followed, heard high-pitched screams and footstep echoes that stopped and started with them, and noted the follower moved far more gracefully than they could. The guest came to believe the follower could not have been a person moving that smoothly in the forest.

Sasquatch sighting

The witness climbed about 20-25 feet up a pine on a small peninsula to wait for hogs over bait at dawn. He watched a large dark female figure stalk tree to tree toward the hogs, then leap, scream, knock a hog into an oak and kill it by pounding its side. The creature carried the hog off, exchanged calls with another unseen creature, then scented, located and stared up at the witness before walking away.
