Class B First-hand BFRO #35773

Woman awoken from her bed by unusual animal call in Chilliwack

14 June 2012 just after 2:00 AM Chilliwack, British Columbia 1 witness

Account

The witness was awakened after 2 a.m. by a loud whooping and howling sound believed to come from the direction of a nearby river. The vocalization continued for about 15 minutes during otherwise quiet conditions, then was heard again briefly farther away. The witness said the sound did not resemble a human or any known animal, but later found it virtually identical to an archival whoop-howl recording.
