Class B First-hand BFRO #16142

Possible whistles and wood knocks heard between Tonasket and Republic

6 October 2006 Morning Tonasket, Okanogan County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was cutting firewood off a mountain road with a companion when she heard a brush snap, then about an hour later heard slow knocking, a soft whistle, and gibberish-like vocalizations from a heavily wooded canyon across the road. The sounds were unfamiliar to her despite being raised in the mountains. She looked into the trees but saw nothing, and a return the next day had no repeat.
