First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #1

Unusual screams heard at a lake

27 May 2001 night Baker County, Oregon

Account

Campers sleeping at a mountain camp were awakened late at night by loud whoops and a dog-like howl that repeated with variations for about two minutes. Their dogs stayed unusually still and silent. The group later searched the nearby meadow and creek but found no signs, and said none of them had heard such sounds before.
