Loud 'whoop' vocalizations heard
June 1997
around midnight
Del Norte County, California
Account
The witness and companions were setting off bottle rockets with loud music playing near a river late at night. They heard repeated rising whoop vocalizations that seemed about a mile away and grew louder as they continued. The surrounding forest was described as unusually quiet. Frightened, the group left the area immediately.
