Class B First-hand BFRO #24881

Strange vocalizations heard in the Markdale area

1 August 1995 around 11 p.m. Markdale - Grey County, Ontario 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and one companion stood outside a rural house late at night and listened to distant, loud, high-pitched screams or mournful moans for about half an hour. The sounds faded in and out, at times requiring straining to hear, before growing fainter and stopping. Neither person recognized the sound as any known animal or human, and later comparisons by the witness pointed only to purported Sasquatch recordings.
