Vocalizations heard by couple at dawn near Randle

19 September 2002 7:15 am Randle Wa, Lewis County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witnesses were awakened at home by very loud calls heard about a dozen times. The witness went outside and imitated the calls, and the source answered several times while apparently approaching to the edge of the yard. The witness could not see the source through the trees and went back inside feeling uncomfortable. Their three dogs remained tense and silent throughout the vocalizations.
