Class B First-hand BFRO #9047

Morning dog walkers hear repeated vocalizations and find scat near Oak Harbor

October 2002 about 4:30 A.M. before dawn Oak Harbor, Island County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

A couple left their house before dawn to walk their dogs and noticed a strong decay-like smell. From woods on opposite sides of the road they heard two loud calls answering each other for several minutes. Frightened, they returned inside with the dogs, and an hour later both the smell and sounds were gone.
