Neighboring Dogs Bark When Loud Vocalizations Heard

The witness reported hearing loud, piercing screams for about 22 minutes at night, starting with one screaming sound and later joined by a louder, longer second voice calling at regular intervals. Neighboring dogs barked in response to each scream and fell silent when the sounds stopped, after which the area became extremely quiet. The dog owners later said the dogs were petrified and refused to go outside.

Backpacker sighting off the PCT in the Marble Mountains Wilderness

The witness was sleeping alone on a rock ledge above a drainage when she heard loud repetitive whooping and howling from far below. The source moved rapidly uphill, climbed a steep cliff to the ledge, and ran past her toward the peak above, pausing briefly to look toward her. It then vocalized from the top of the peak until near sunrise, and she left the area at first light.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

Report data: BFRO - Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, Sasquatch Chronicles (podcast, local transcripts). Summaries are written for the Anomadex; original reports stay with their publishers. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors ·

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
