Account
The witness took two young relatives camping overnight near an old logging road and storm-damaged trees. During the evening and night the group repeatedly heard unidentified noises and guttural patterned calls that seemed to get responses from farther away. In the morning the companions briefly saw something near bushes that froze then moved into shadow, and the group stopped after hearing a rock crash nearby. No footprints were found on the hard ground.
