Account

The witness was camping with family in old-growth pine forest on Mormon Mountain east of Flagstaff. After going to bed around midnight, repeated whooping yells were heard approaching within about 100 yards, circling the camp, then moving away over about ten minutes. The witness, a lifelong hunter, said he had never heard such sounds until later hearing similar vocalizations on a research website.
