Possible vocalizations and rock piles in a backyard near Eatonville (w/photos)

The witness was awakened at home in the early morning by very loud, deep screams from very close outside. The sounds shifted toward the woods and continued as back-and-forth exchanges between two sources, including grunts, barks, cries and shorter screams over many minutes. The witness's three dogs cowered by the door rather than chasing, and the sounds eventually receded north into the woods until they stopped.

They later heard a very large animal moving away breaking branches, found no sign after sunrise, and left to hunt elsewhere.

Loud vocalizations sounds heard

Two companions watching lightning during a storm reportedly heard loud pig-like grunts and screams and noisy movement in dense brush. They also reported seeing red reflected eyes spaced a few inches apart.
