Class B First-hand BFRO #15621

Members of a Boy Scout troop hear possible vocalizations at Loon Lake

June 2006 about 6:10am Small: Burgdorff, Large: McCall, Valley County, Idaho

Account

The witness was camping with a scout group at Loon Lake when two groups of loud, low howl-like calls were heard from a distance through the forest in the early morning. The witness, accompanied by relatives in the tent, described the calls as powerful and haunting and thought they came from a very large animal. Other campers also heard the sounds, with some attributing them to wolves, while the witness later felt they matched a sasquatch howl recording.
