Account
A family of four hiked the Big Creek trail loop near Lake Cushman in late morning. All four heard a prolonged mournful sound described as part howl and part groan. About half an hour later near a creek bridge they encountered an intense skunk- and ammonia-like odor that caused watering eyes and distress before dissipating as they continued.
