Class B First-hand BFRO #28487

Possible vocalization heard near Lake Cushman and Dow Mountain

August 2008 about 1 a.m. Hoodsport WA, Mason County, Washington 1 witness

Account

Late one summer night in 2008 the witness sat on the back deck with her dog because heat prevented sleep. She heard a long siren-like howl from the direction of a forested mountain that lasted roughly 50 seconds. Her normally vocal dog instead pressed against her in fear, and she felt compelled to go quickly and quietly inside. She later compared the sound to recordings and felt it matched a published Sasquatch howl recording.
