Class B First-hand BFRO #927

Campers hear loud animal "roars", from inside the treeline of a clear-cut

10 August 1975 Stevens Pass, Chelan County, Washington

Account

In the summer of 1975 the witness took a visiting relative to a clear-cut to camp. From timber across the cut they heard an extremely loud, deep roar. The witness fired a revolver into the air to scare what was thought to be a bear, but the roaring grew louder and faster, prompting the group to pack up and leave without ever seeing the source.
