Account
The witness and a relative stopped during a camping road trip to walk along the highway and film. After turning off the camera due to low battery, they noticed a distant foul smell from a canyon and then heard barking and yelping from a nearby mountain that did not sound like a dog. They tried to record the sound but it stopped before the camera could be turned on, and they turned back.
