Account
The witness and a relative were camping in the Colville National Forest when they heard a loud howl or scream from the woods northwest of their campsite in the early morning. The sound was compared to a recording attributed to a Bigfoot group and followed a couple of hours of complete forest silence. No visual contact was reported.
