Class B First-hand BFRO #13717

Possible vocalizations heard by staff at Redfish Lake near Stanley

September 2001 About midnight Stanley, Custer County, Idaho 2 witnesses

Account

Around midnight in September, the witness was walking between facilities when loud growl-to-scream vocalizations began from a creek bed about 300 yards away. The calls repeated 10-15 times over 15-20 minutes while the source seemed to move nearer, farther, and side to side. The witness brought a neighbor outside so both heard the sounds, then returned to the cabin and kept weapons close. A next-day search of the creek bed found no tracks or other sign.
