Man hears late night howl in the Emigrant Wilderness
Account
The witness and a companion were camped overnight on a high ridgeline after a backpacking trip. Around 1 a.m. the witness awoke and heard a loud moan-like sound rise up the western canyon to a scream-like crescendo, repeated minutes later, followed by a fainter similar sound from the eastern canyon. No animal was seen, and the companion awoke to hear the third sound.
