They tried additional calls with no further response and left around 10 p.m.

Campers hear possible night-time responses near Aeneas Valley Road

The witness was camping with a group on a friend's undeveloped property and spent two nights riding ATVs to a remote spot to try imitation yells and tree knocks for fun. The group reported hearing responding knocks, high-pitched vocalizations, loud grunt-like growls from in front and behind, and a very loud tree-breaking sound, all from about 75 to 300 yards away. Nothing was ever seen, and the group left the hillside quickly after the close growls, later listening from camp.

Fisherman experiences possible daytime activity three consecutive trips near Conconully

The witness returned to a familiar lakeshore fishing spot with a relative after two prior visits with unexplained sounds.

They did not see the source and could not identify it, noting it did not sound like deer and bear could not be ruled out.

Possible whistles and wood knocks heard between Tonasket and Republic

The witness was cutting firewood off a mountain road with a companion when she heard a brush snap, then about an hour later heard slow knocking, a soft whistle, and gibberish-like vocalizations from a heavily wooded canyon across the road. The sounds were unfamiliar to her despite being raised in the mountains. She looked into the trees but saw nothing, and a return the next day had no repeat.

Possible stalking of deer hunters near Falls Creek

While deer hunting with a companion, the witness walked toward a creek bottom and heard loud rocks being struck together repeatedly from about 50-75 yards away in thick timber. Unable to see the source and believing no other hunters were in the isolated, trail-less area, they moved closer, heard the rock sounds again, then left for camp as the sounds stopped.
