Campers hear multiple vocalizations at Loup Loup Campground

15 August 1986 dusk to nearly dawn Twisp, Okanogan County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

A couple camping at a campground in the north-central Washington Cascades heard loud, powerful calls beginning shortly before dusk and continuing through the night. The sounds were described as unfamiliar, alternating between deep guttural tones and high-pitched tones, and seeming to come from two sources that moved toward each other along a creek drainage. The witnesses spent the night in their car and left at dawn without searching the brush for tracks.
