Class B First-hand BFRO #62496

Possible whistles and stalking outside Gasquet and Patrick Creek

September 1997 about 10pm Gasquet, Del Norte County, California 3 witnesses

Account

Three people spent the evening inside a remote northern California cabin playing a recording of a reported howl about every 15 minutes. About an hour after starting, they heard a powerful whistle from very close in front of the bay window where they stood. They turned off the lights and waited, but heard nothing further that night.
