Possible vocalizations heard by resident outside Verlot

The witness was at home in the evening when barking dogs drew him outside onto the porch. From a distance he heard loud repeated vocalizations that began low and rose to a scream, apparently moving west past his location and then back south before fading after about five minutes. He described the sound as unlike any animal he knew from hunting experience and later felt it matched an archival scream recording except for a lower start.

Multiple witnesses hear possible vocalizations near Darrington

Six people sitting around a campfire heard a very close, loud two-part vocalization described as whooing/moaning followed after a pause by a booming scream, then heard something moving across the creek. No visual contact was reported. The next day witnesses found a freshly broken/twisted sapling and barefoot-like prints of multiple sizes in a sandy area and made casts of tracks.

Loud roars and screams heard from an unknown animal near Stanwood

On a warm summer evening at dusk in 2000, the witness was with two dogs at the edge of a forested ravine on the property. For about 10-15 minutes the witness heard something large moving through dense brush, branches snapping, and continuous loud roars and screams that continued despite yelling. The dogs stayed beside the witness and would not investigate, and the witness then went inside for the night.

Memory told of screaming creature terrifying campers at Gold Basin Campground along the Mountain Loop Highway

Four people sleeping outdoors beside a river were awakened around 2 a.m. by loud screaming from across the river. The source paced the far bank, crossed the river, snapped a fallen log, approached within 10 feet while screaming and giving off a strong odor, then recrossed the river and left up the hill over about 25 minutes. Nothing was seen because it was pitch dark.

Teenage dirt bike riders hear screams

Two teenagers stopped for a few minutes by a small lake or beaver pond while riding dirt bikes on an overgrown logging road. A loud scream lasting up to 15 seconds and varying in pitch came from an opposite ridge about a mile away. Startled, they left immediately and told only immediate family members about what they heard.

Two hunters hear nighttime vocalizations near Darrington

Two people were settling to sleep in sleeping bags at a roadside camp late at night. They heard leaves and branches breaking and screaming from all around them and smelled a strong foul odor they did not recognize. Unable to see anything in the darkness without a flashlight, they grabbed their rifles, threw their bags in the car, and left.
