Campers record strange evening and morning vocalizations near Salmon Meadows
Account
A family camped at Salmon Meadows near Conconully heard repeated strange howl-like yells from the creek bed below their site in the late afternoon. After going to investigate and finding a young cow near a cattle guard, they heard howls again overnight and in the early morning. They recorded five video clips as the sounds moved away but never saw the source.

Evidence & investigation
What the source says was found or done. Claimed evidence is listed as claimed; the Anomadex has not examined it.
- Investigated by
- Darrel Verney (BFRO)
Five Flip camcorder clips of the area capturing howls sent to investigator; analyses disagreed, with one citing three simultaneous notes and possible tree knock versus others attributing sounds to bellowing cow, echo, or poor recording.
An investigator obtained the Flip clips, shared the loudest recording, and reported split analyses between a three-note horn vocalization with possible tree knock and a cow bellow with echo or recording artifact.
