1 August 2000 Yellowjacket Mine- Challis, Lemhi County, Idaho Class B #18050

Series of loud vocalizations from two sources heard in the Yellowjacket Mountains

The witness and a relative camped at the end of a forest road and prepared to sleep in their tent. They heard loud hair-raising howl-like screams coming from opposite directions for several minutes, as if two sources were calling back and forth. Minutes after the sounds stopped, a foul rotting odor drifted through camp while the forest remained completely silent.

Wood knock near Stanley, Idaho

While tent camping with family, the witness knocked a stick on a tree and got a reply, yelled and got a loud yelled reply through the valley. That night deer and birds vanished, and a felt growl between tents woke the witness and wife with a putrid smell, but a flashlight search found nothing.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
