Class B First-hand BFRO #23460

Husband and wife hear possible vocalizations on Harstine Island

3 March 2008 9:30 PM Shelton, Mason County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

A couple arriving at their cabin heard distant, deep vocalizations lasting about five minutes. The sounds were described as long, low-pitched roar-like screams with a growly tone that dropped lower in pitch. Their dogs became clingy and whined, and were brought inside. The husband first suggested elk or coyote but concluded the depth and duration were not human or known animal.
