Hunter/police officer hears late afternoon vocalizations and breaking branches near Clearfield
Account
While deer hunting alone in a snow-covered valley in 1993, the witness heard a deep repeated belch-like sound approach rapidly to the ridge above him. At dusk the sound stopped and something unseen in the treeline broke branches and moved back and forth for about ten minutes while the witness waited with a rifle. The witness then hiked out to his father, who said he had also heard the distant sound, and the party left for the vehicle.
