Campers hear multiple, pre-dawn vocalizations in Humboldt Redwoods State Park
Account
The witness and family were camping on a hillside above a campground when they heard loud, prolonged human-like screams from the creek beds nearly every morning for eight days. The cries lasted about thirty seconds and repeated several times around 4:30 a.m., seeming to move toward and away from camp. On three mornings the witness tried to approach the source with a flashlight, but the sounds moved uphill toward the ridge without any brush noise heard.
