Memory told of being followed and hearing possible vocalizations at a house near Napavine

In 1980 a teenage witness walking up a long driveway by dense brush heard something bipedal pacing her from cover, seeing only treetops move. That night she and her sister heard very loud repeated whoop-like calls followed by a long sad wailing cry from the woods behind their unfinished house. She interpreted the daytime pacing and nighttime calls as connected and attributed them to Bigfoot.
