Hiker reports possible vocalizations near Oregon Caves

Spring 2005 Around 2:00 PM Applegate, Josephine County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness got a truck stuck in snow on the Sturgis Creek trail area and started walking down the road to find a phone. From behind near the trailhead area the witness heard very loud screaming and howling sounds echoing off the valley walls. The sound repeated about seven times and was described as ending abruptly rather than trailing off. The witness continued walking while watching behind, with a rifle safety off.
