Salmon surveyor has unusual experience near confluence of Fall River and Boss Creek

The witness was waiting by a truck for her survey partner when she heard screams, distress-like animal cries, rock-smashing sounds, and brush crashing with mumbling like conversation. She stayed in the vehicle without seeing what made the sounds. Shortly after, her partner arrived by a different trail and said he had found a freshly killed deer torn in half with steam, blood, and a blood trail, but had heard nothing.

Mountain climbers hear loud scream on Mount St. Helens

The witness and six companions were climbing Mt. St. Helens in the morning when they heard a single loud scream from a snow-covered ridge about 100 yards away.

The combination struck the witness as strange and unlike anything heard in decades of hunting the area.

Daylight sighting by fisherman near Easton, Washington

They left the area, and a later return found no sign of it.
