Class B First-hand BFRO #9506

Camping couple hears loud nighttime vocalizations near Knoll Lake

10 October 2004 8:45 p.m., already dark Payson, Coconino County, Arizona 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were camping and sitting by a campfire at night when they heard a series of 12 loud, clear screams from the east. The sounds were estimated at 1 to 2 miles away, with the final two sounding pained and different from the rest. The witness felt the sounds matched no known Arizona wildlife and later found them similar to recorded Bigfoot vocalizations.
