Class B First-hand BFRO #19100

Hikers hear characteristic vocalizations on Fiery Gizzard Trail

BFRO YEAR: 2000 or 01 mid-afternoon Tracy City, Grundy County, Tennessee 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were hiking back toward the trailhead through a gorge when the surrounding woods erupted in loud screaming and whooping vocalizations lasting a few seconds. The sounds seemed to come from more than one nearby source, then stopped abruptly into complete silence. The pair had no visual contact with the source and finished the hike without further incident.
