Vocalization in Alaska

While working in the park, the guest hiked to climb a mountain via a narrow valley and detoured to check an old cabin site. He found a large well-trodden trail, a shredded willow break, and a torn-apart rotten stump, which he attributed to snow and bears at the time. On the return in a sunny open spot he heard a loud single-syllable vocal from the woods over the creek and chose to leave for the wide river bar rather than investigate.

Howl near Index, Washington

In his early twenties the guest bushwhacked to a remote trailless high mountain lake to look for Sasquatch and camped overnight. He woke at night to a high-pitched howling unlike coyote, and in the morning found a large track impression in mud in front of his tent. He felt an urgent need to leave, hurried down hearing branches cracking behind him, and the urgency lifted when he reached sunshine and the creek.

Late at night while photographing on the porch, the witness felt watched then heard a single grunt like a pig and horse combined near trees, later heard again behind her brother's house. Chickens were frightened with one laying prematurely, dogs barked, and her brother came out with a light and firearm.
