Couple Sees Large Animal and Hears Vocalizations and Knocks
Account
The witness and a companion were hiking back from Irely Lake in dim evening light when they heard a loud sustained roar-growl from about 100 yards away in the forest. The sound was unlike any bear or mountain lion they knew and never repeated, prompting them to hurry back to their car. The pair later expressed certainty that the vocalization was a sasquatch.
