Campers encounter large animal near Cle Elum

During a family reunion campout, four relatives walked to nearby creek pools at night to look for frogs. They smelled a strong fecal odor and heard rustling and two heavy thuds approaching from dense woods, then fled back to camp. After calming down, some returned armed but found no source, noticed the odor was gone and the dogs had not reacted, and one noted a den-like resting spot across the marshy creek.

Creature with red glowing eyes seen

The witness was picking brush for sale near an old skid road when he heard loud growls, squeals, and brush breaking. He climbed a side hill and saw a still dark bear draped over a vine maple, then noticed a very large dark-brown biped standing about 50 feet away with its back turned. The creature turned and stared with red glowing eyes, prompting the witness to flee to his truck screaming, after which he refused to return to the woods and his crew left the area.

Father and son hear heavy footsteps made by an apparent bipedal creature

The witness and a relative were walking in dense woods when they heard large, heavy bipedal footsteps on the other side of a dirt mound. The footsteps approached to within a few feet, stopped for several minutes, then resumed and moved away. As they left the area they noticed a strong ammonia-like odor.
