Some men were hunting on Hoh mountains. They found a hole in the side of the mountain. They said, “This is Thunderbird’s home. This is a supernatural place.” Whenever they walked close to the hole they were very afraid. Thunderbird smelled the hunters whenever they approached his place. He did not want any person to come near his house. He caused ice to come out of the door of his house. Whenever people came near there, he rolled ice down the mountainside while he made the thunder noise. The ice would roll until it came to the level place where the rocks are. There it broke into a million pieces, and rattled as it rolled farther down the valley. Everyone was afraid of Thunderbird and of the thunder noise. No one would sleep near that place over night.
