Witness Account:
I had been hiking with my children who were 3 and 9 at the time on the Moss Lake Nature Trail from the Camp Sheppard trail head in the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. It was late afternoon between 3 and 4 pm when we got back to the car and raining. My younger child had gotten wet so I had opened the hatchback of our car to help her change into dry clothes when I heard shrieking and howling sounds in the distance that sounded closer to monkeys at the zoo than any known animals in the area.
Physical evidence:
We have photos of the hike which is how I know what day it happened but nothing unusual is on the photos.
Sounds:
Shrieks, howls and whoops that sounded primate in nature. While trying to identify what animal i heard I watched several videos on YouTube but no known local animals came close. My son then age 9 also heard the sounds and asked if it was a ape like Bigfoot because he'd seen people making Bigfoot howls on TV and that's what it reminded him of
