Early Morning Howls Awaken Campers Near Liliwaup
Two people camping overnight in hammocks were awakened around 3 a.m. by loud, long howls that they felt physically and that repeated several times from up the creek. They had never heard anything similar despite extensive wilderness experience and could not match it to known North American mammal sounds. They later found an online Sasquatch vocalization that sounded identical, but stated they did not know the source.
Possible daytime encounter by a family hiking near Lake Cushman
The witness hiked a loop trail near Lake Cushman with three family members in late morning. The group heard a mournful 8-10 second howl/groan and about 30 minutes later encountered a strong skunk- and ammonia-like odor near a creek bridge on both sides of the trail. They also noticed unusual uprooted mushrooms along the trail. No creature was seen.
Possible vocalization heard near Lake Cushman and Dow Mountain
Late one summer night in 2008 the witness sat on the back deck with her dog because heat prevented sleep. She heard a long siren-like howl from the direction of a forested mountain that lasted roughly 50 seconds. Her normally vocal dog instead pressed against her in fear, and she felt compelled to go quickly and quietly inside. She later compared the sound to recordings and felt it matched a published Sasquatch howl recording.
Husband and wife hear possible vocalizations on Harstine Island
A couple arriving at their cabin heard distant, deep vocalizations lasting about five minutes. The sounds were described as long, low-pitched roar-like screams with a growly tone that dropped lower in pitch. Their dogs became clingy and whined, and were brought inside. The husband first suggested elk or coyote but concluded the depth and duration were not human or known animal.
Environmental Engineer hears calling and responding screams near Shelton
The witness was taking overnight ambient-noise measurements at a rural residence surrounded by timber land. Shortly after starting, after hearing distant coyotes, she heard loud scream-like howls exchanged between two directions for about 30 seconds. After a quiet period during which nearby dogs and a horse became agitated, she heard another solitary similar howl-scream from the same direction.
