Family has frequent visits by someone they call the "Screaming Man" near Ashford

Late at night the witness was unloading a car behind a rural home when owls around the house suddenly went silent and a loud human-like yell came from the woods about a hundred yards away. The sound felt physically powerful and warning, prompting the witness to leave belongings in the car and go inside. The witness later learned the sound matched prolonged screams previously heard by others in the area.

Man hears possible vocalizations close to his home near Eatonville

The witness was lying down to sleep at home in the early morning when a series of loud vocalizations was heard from nearby woods. The sounds included a distant deep call, loud siren-like screams, and chattering with tongue-clicking, while neighboring dogs barked during parts of the sequence. The sounds faded and returned as if the source moved deeper into the woods and back before leaving for the last time.

At the top where snow had melted, the last print was a clear impression in frozen mud showing five toes, arch and heel. He went back downhill to bring his wife to view the tracks.

Youths in Summer Camp have noisy nighttime experience

The witness was sleeping in a cabin during a summer camp session when loud nighttime noises caused an uproar. A cabin-mate reportedly looked out and described multiple large, hairy, human-like figures near the water tower and cabins.

Campers were walked around the perimeter to view the traces and were sent home early.
