Class B First-hand BFRO #24602

Bow-hunters near Huntington Canyon hear yelling creature approach their camp from a distance at night

August 1996 approximately 10:00 pm to 12:00 am Clear Creek, Emery County, Utah 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions on a multi-night archery hunting and camping trip heard a loud repeated yell/scream approaching their camp late at night. After driving to investigate and hearing it from closer range, they returned to find it within about a hundred yards, also hearing walking and stick-breaking nearby. Frightened, they hastily packed their tent and left the area by truck in the early morning without ever seeing the source.
