Hunter recalls unusual and persistent vocalizations at Carson Lake on the Grand Mesa

October 1987 dusk Grand Junction, Mesa County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were setting up camp for the night after hunting when they heard prolonged loud screaming from across a lake. One fired a shot in the air, after which the sound briefly stopped then resumed closer and louder with brush thrashing heard. Feeling unnerved, they packed up and drove out the same evening. The writer later felt televised alleged Bigfoot vocalizations sounded similar.
