Sandy and Tex Jacobs were two of a group of nine camping two miles North of the mouth of Ape Canyon just off Forest Road N92 (Area destroyed in eruption of Mount St. Helens). About 1.30 a.m. their trailer rocked violently and something hit the side. Tex went out and heard something splash through the creek. In the morning they found about 35 footprints, some quite clear, of two individuals, 15 inches and 12 inches, very deep at the heel, no arch. About 10 a.m. they heard two "blood-curdlin" screams from the hill to the Northeast. Some tracks found near a blue huckleberry patch where both leaves and berries had been stripped. A Weyerhauser Paper Co. watchman, who had a trailer near theres, said his trailer had also been hit the night before, and he came out with a frying pan for a weapon and almost ran into "a big hairy man", which ran away. A lot of hair found, plus feces, a place where something large had urinated, and a strong, sickening smell around, not necessarily anything to do with footprints.

Hey Yankeesearch, didn’t even know you were in chat, now you have the bug so bad you will have to keep going out to see another one. :)

Anyway, as I stand before God, I did not make this up!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:55 am »
Not saying it was Sq/BF/DM/Yeti... but it was strange. And I am locking my doors tonight for sure! :lol:
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:54 am »
And just I was turning away, I thought I heard snort -- which could have been deer or maybe cattle... but... I do not know.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
I did not have the creepy feeling I normally get in these situations... so I really do not know what to make of it.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
One detail I forgot to mention: the whoop had almost a human like talk after it on both occasions.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:52 am »
I walked back to the other side, and thought I heard a knock...
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:51 am »
Cattle about 1/8th mile away disappeared... and strangely at that location: it sounded like something banged the metal fence. Not loud... but never ever heard it before tonight.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
Two whoops... and some deer scattering (they may have been scattering because of me).
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
From 6:20 PM to maybe 6:45 PM CST
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:49 am »
I may have just had an encounter!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:46 am »
Hi gang! I know it has been a long time...
@ BrianDriver « Sat 12:59 pm »
Good quality pics. How long were the cams out?

Just to get the chat going, it’s going to take some time to move over all the data, but in the end, hope everyone likes the layout here.
