Class B First-hand BFRO #502

Three people report screams near Foresthill

June 2000 dusk to about 3:45 a.m. Foresthill, Placer County, California 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was camping with two relatives when they heard a resonant moaning wail off and on for hours. The sound seemed to move around the hillside and appeared to involve two sources calling to each other. The group searched with lights and by vehicle but saw nothing. The noises continued until the early morning when the group went to sleep.
