Possible vocalization frightens fisherman from campsite along Conejos River
Account
The witness was camping alone with his dog in a tent in a remote mountain meadow area while on a fly-fishing trip. Late at night he woke and heard a single extremely loud, high-pitched scream-like howl lasting several seconds from a few hundred yards away across a canyon. Frightened by the sound, which he perceived as territorial, he abandoned his tent and gear and drove to a nearby town to sleep. He returned at daybreak, found no tracks, and later concluded the sound matched alleged sasquatch vocalizations after comparing it to known animal recordings.
