Woman hears unrecognizable vocalizations near Cle Elum

BFRO YEAR: 1996-97 late at night, around midnight Cle Elum WA, Kittitas County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were feeding horses late at night in deep winter snow. After the witness howled to elicit coyote replies, a very loud, deep howl answered from the hillside behind. The witness could not see the source with a weak flashlight and described it as unlike any dog, coyote, or wolf, later believing it was a bigfoot.
