Class B First-hand BFRO #17570

Possible vocalizations directed at camp of boy scouts near Omak

August 2006 about 10-11 p.m. Nespelem, Okanogan County, Washington 16 witnesses

Account

The witness was camping overnight with a scout troop at a small crescent-shaped lake. After the group settled around 10-11 p.m., a very loud two-part call was heard three or four times from brush in a draw at the north end of the lake, sounding more distant each time. Shortly before dark the witness had noticed a strong musty odor near camp, and the youths in camp reportedly also heard the calls.
