Account
The witness was camping in the mountains of northern California when a loud, frightening howl echoed through the area from the east around 1 a.m. The witness reported extensive prior backpacking experience in the region and said nothing similar had been heard before. Bigfoot was mentioned only as a first thought about what might have caused the sound.
