Stalking by a large creature around family tents at midnight at Skookumchuck Reservoir

The witness was lying awake in a tent at a restricted lakeside camp around midnight when she heard slow, rhythmic footsteps circling the campsite for about 45 minutes. The walker paused near food areas, approached another tent when a child cried, and left after a car alarm sounded, stepping over a fence into the woods. She never opened the tent to look and concluded from the stride and sounds that it was not human.

Young man walking home at 1:30am reports stalking and tree shaking near Deschutes River in Vail

After a companion fell asleep, the witness decided to walk home late at night along a road bordered by young planted trees. Something in the trees paced him from the side, stopping when he stopped and continuing when he walked. When he tried to look larger and shouted, he heard deep grunts and saw two small trees shake vigorously. He called a nearby friend for a ride and kept shouting until he was picked up.

Young man staying up late hears and records possible vocalizations near Rainier

The witness was at home in Rainier, Washington, playing video games when unknown loud calls, cries and hoots were heard on several nights in early February 2011. Some sounds were recorded on a cell phone and a webcam left running overnight and later posted online, with relatives also hearing them. The witness described one close cry and later hoots suggesting two individuals calling to each other. An investigator later had the audio compared to suspected vocalizations and visited the surrounding woods.

Young Girl Experiences Rock and Stick Throwing

The witness was walking home at night near a creek when something began throwing sticks and rocks and following her. The throwing reportedly paused when cars passed. She ran to a bridge where the pursuer entered bushes but continued throwing objects, while she heard footsteps, smelled a strong bad odor, and glimpsed only a large dark figure. Footprints were reportedly found in sand the next day.

Late at night the witness and a companion were awake talking in a house with the bedroom window open when a loud five-second scream came from a wooded hillside 100-200 yards away.

No further screams were heard that night.
