Class B First-hand BFRO #23017

Possible vocalizations heard by resident outside Verlot

21 January 2008 approx. 8pm Granite Falls, Snohomish County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was at home in the evening when barking dogs drew him outside onto the porch. From a distance he heard loud repeated vocalizations that began low and rose to a scream, apparently moving west past his location and then back south before fading after about five minutes. He described the sound as unlike any animal he knew from hunting experience and later felt it matched an archival scream recording except for a lower start.
