Account
The witness and a companion camped at a dead-end dirt road near Timothy Lake after their intended campground was full. Around 11 p.m. while relaxing at camp, they heard a strange loon-like sound ending in a growl, followed about ten seconds later by another distant growl. Both found the sounds unfamiliar, and the companion later admitted the sound had unsettled him.
