Account
The witness and three companions stopped while driving on a logging road and heard a loud deep wailing or warbling sound from the hillside below. The witness took a rifle and went downhill, finding a rocky crevice with a very strong foul odor. Something large and fast then rushed from behind the rock downhill, perceived only as a brief brown blur, and no recent animal sign was found.
