Possible vocalizations heard by resident near Lassen National Forest

12 July 2005 around 0600 Susanville, Lassen County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was outside early in the morning when dogs a few blocks away began barking fiercely. A loud, ape-like howl then joined in and at times drowned out the dogs. The vocal exchange lasted several minutes before stopping. The witness did not see the source and did not know if anyone else heard it.
