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.
